Would you let the Asus Zenbo robot look after your children?
"As part of its huge Computex product offensive, Taiwanese tech giant Asus on Monday took the wraps off Zenbo – an all-singing, all-dancing robot that wants to be an integral part of your connected household."
For less than an iPad pro, you can purchase a robot to look after your family. They are quoting that this special robot can not only care for your children, but also for the elderly in your life that need supervision. Perks for children include stories, educational games and dimming lights for bedtime. It can remind elderly to take their medicine, make emergency calls and can lend a hand in the kitchen. Have we really gotten too busy to take care of these people in our lives? This is very disturbing. The human touch is healing, desired and really necessary for our development. The article does state that putting small children to bed with a robot may lead to nightmares, but what happened to good old fashioned love and comfort? What parent would deprive a child of that? The elderly have long been neglected by family as they age, this doesn't really seem any more caring. I find it so hard to believe that an individual could be so selfish with their time that this would become necessary.
