Meet JIBO — the world’s first family robot. He reads to kids under play forts, takes photos at birthday parties, shows your voicemail messages, reads recipes in the kitchen and more. When I watched this video, I was definitely impressed and WOWed… but there was something about it that saddened me. As great and helpful as it would be to have extra help around the house, things like this scare me a little bit. Technology is becoming more and more advanced, reducing human interaction and real-time communication. The thought of a robot reading to my little girl, rather than me or another loved one, feels so disconnected. I'm sure a lot of people would clamor for a JIBO, but I'm on the fence.
What do YOU think? Do inventions like this one make you excited for the future… or scared?
