I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. (Anyone else remember HAL from 2001?)

The crew of the space mission to Mars that were murdered by the HAL 9000. Most of my post on this subject of quotes from HAL

Sorry I never watched that movie so I wouldn't know any thing about it. I just think that little JIBO is a cute lil robot and if it does what the inventor posted it does then what would be the harm in using one to help tutor children?

MSG Brad Sand DEFINITELY know BSG (2004) and it's prequel spinoff, Caprica. I think I recall some kind of AI that would answer the door for one of the principle characters in Caprica. That's what it reminds me of. I've watched the series all the way through about 3-4 times.
I didnt understand the My Living Doll reference. If I can find the show, I'll watch it CPT Pedro Meza

Justyn, Julie Newmar, before she was Catwoman, in 1964 she was a Female Robot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Living_Doll

Julie Newmar was an awesome Catwoman, but couldn't quite replace Eartha Kitt and that sexy purrrrr!

Julie was an awesome Living Doll, in real life. I met her in 1980's as she played in the park with her son that has Down Syndrome. A thousand respect for knowing TV classics.

Well, it was inevitable I suppose. I assume it will also yell "use the force, Luke" or whatever name is appropriate when the time is right.
I do think it has positive application for those who suffer from PTSD or other issues.

My late mother-in-law was pretty drifty towards the end and I just know that a device like this would have made a big difference in her life. Telling her to get up and walk about, pulling up old tunes she wanted to sing, how to mix a martini -- she liked them, couldn't remember how to make them! I bought one because I think they are on to something. This could be a Wounded Warrior companion thing or a VA subsidy thing. Mine will respond to "Yo! Jibo!"

CPT Meza, your last comment reminds me of this... http://en.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/I,_Mudd_(episode)
The classic Star Trek episode, "I, Mudd".

It can be helpful, however it's not a replacement for real human interaction. My concern is that this might provide motivation to reduce the number of actual people available to help PTSD sufferers instead of raising those numbers.

Baltar: And what is the standing order for humans from your Imperious Leader?
Cylon Centurion: Extermination.
Baltar: Then carry out your orders. If they exist, they're doomed.

Let's try and see if it helps. Loosing too many to PTSD. Too many here on the streets of LA.

Check out the 1964 TV series My Living Doll, with Julie Newmar. A guy gets a robot for therapy but falls in love with her but she is not programmed for love.
