language big-eared spend lie tail develops 50 eyes move
name hit angry personality
A=Amanda V=Victoria J=Jamie A: Aibo can walk, sit, lie down and wag his tail. It learns the name you give it and can answer when you call it. It develops its own personality. It can learn about 50 commands. V: Furby likes being patted. At first it speaks his own language, then he gradually switches to English the more time you spend with him. He looks like a big-eared bird. Isn’t he so cute, Jamie?
J: Well Victoria, I think it looks strange. I like these ones, though. Paro can open and close its eyes and move its flippers. Tama recognizes her own name. She purrs when she’ patted. That shows she’ happy, but if you hit her, she will give you an angry hiss. Gradually her behaviour changes and she develops her own personality.
Different people, different opinions support reject Jamie Victoria Amanda
don’t understand …why not real one? Jamie don’t have to feed robot Wouldn’t make house dirty Not a real pet.It’s a toy Amanda Amanda, Paro and Tama are like real animals Victoria If … thinks..as a pet, then it is a pet Jamie, it’s sad if…..
A: I don’t understand the point of a robot pet. Why wouldn’t you get a real one? J: Well, you don’t have to feed a robot dog or take it for walks. And they don’t bark or bite. V: And it won’t make your house dirty. A: Yeah,but it’s not a real pet, is it? It’s a toy. V: Well, Amanda, I must say Aibo and Furby look like toys to me. At least Paro and Tama look more like real animals.
J: I don’t think it matters if the robot like a real pet or not. If someone thinks of the robot as a pet, then it is a pet. A: But Jamie, don’t you think it’s sad if the person thinks of the robot as a real pet? J: No, I don’t think so, not if he gets enjoyment from it. A: Well, I don’t believe a robot can be a true friend even if it does develop its own personality. I mean stroking a dog or cat makes you feel good because you’re making it happy. You can’t make a robot “happy”.
V: But you can make Tama happy. It all depends on how you treat her. A: That’s true, but she’s programmed to be like that. J: Anyway, I think robot pets would be good kinds of pet for people who cannot have a live pet or who can’t care for one---like people who are old, sick or disabled.
