but you said the concept was hard to get your head around, why? To me, it makes perfect sense. 
Whether or not it's "right" for everybody or even somebody is a separate question. 
The concept though makes perfect sense given how robots are used today

Because people don't like change. No one is ever going to get in one of them there flying machines. Why would anyone ever use a cell phone? Who needs a computer? A typewriter is just fine. People fear change and don't trust it, or they embrace it wholehearted and sometimes trust it too much, but mostly they fear and distrust it. That's my thought on it.

I like that my not so robotic dog licks my face and wags his tail, growling at me to come up the stairs. LOL. But if you had allergies or a variety of other factors, or if you simply did not like dogs, the robotic dog might just be a real breakthrough. Guess it is anyway.
