|  Robot dog may be as good a companion as real dog
»news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080229/ap_···neliness
A study by Saint Louis University found that a lovable pooch named Sparky and a robotic dog, AIBO, were about equally effective at relieving the loneliness of nursing home residents and fostering attachments.
The study, which appears in the March issue of the Journal of The American Medical Directors Association, builds on previous findings by the researchers that frequent dog visits decreased loneliness of nursing home residents.
And with a robotic dog, you won't have to feed it or clean up after it.

| Yes, but unlike a real dog, can you have sex with it?  (kidding)
Eh, I don't know. Human robots, dog robots. It's all too much for me. We're going to be an awfully strange society in a 100 years, if we make it that far. |
