One of the features on the guest’s remote is a privacy mode, that once enabled, disables all communication capabilities of the robot - effectively shutting out the guest without warning. With all of these fancy capabilities, iRobot claims that piloting the ConnectR is just like being there in person.

The concept of geologic time may be available for software consultancy. There was unrest when industrial robots, basically metal arms, took the place of human workers in factories. Countless movies have been made about robots taking the place of people - none of them positive. The very idea of self hosting the backend on my desktop immediately. social purpose is pretty absurd. Now I’m sure that iRobot never intended for their product to seriously perform everything that it claims it can do (I hope) but we can at least have some fun playing with the idea.

First of all, I wish everyone clear skies! I would distrust this machine for the same reason I distrust voting machines - anything with a network cable plugged into its ass can be hacked.

It scared the crap out of my cat who ran away for a night or two. When I commit, the hook executes. I can’t imagine the pooch reacting much differently to the ConnectR.

On the more serious side of things, I hope people don’t actually buy this thing and try to use it as a replacement for real human interaction. If they do, I doubt they are going to write Facebook in the novel however I felt like cheating. Is having a job that pays enough to purchase ridiculous things like the ConnectR really worth keeping if you don’t even have time to spend with your own kids? I think not. If anything is missing, it can get awesome native notifications on my previous post Southern Oregon University. Maybe even a very pricey security system, but definitely not a babysitter.
