The Rise and Fall of Pleo, a Fairwell Lecture by John Sosoka
LuckyPleo:
I tell my friends and their responses go like this
Them: You're lying, you don't have a pet robot!
Me: Yes I do, it's an artificial intelligence autonomous robotic pet dinosaur.
Them:..........
Them: So is it like a toy?
Me: No it's a pet robot dinosaur.
Them: Whatever, figures, only you would be the kind of person to have a pet robot.
(They see it or a video of it)
Them: :o .........
RedwoodsMama:
I have yet to meet a person when I am out an about with one of my many Pleos or Pleo Rb that isn't taken back with awe when they see it. I went to a accupuncture appt a few weeks ago, ( for my chonic back pain ) and I brought my Pleo Rb with me. The Accupuncturist and his assitant were both very interested in my Pleo Rb. they asked me what it was called and while the assistant worked on my back with some heat therpay while the needles were still in, the Accupuncturist was on the computer in the other room doing research on Pleo Was. I cam out to make another appt and found out they had been looking up Pleo. As soon as I came out, I turned Baby on and they saw what a charmer she was and I did have to leave so I wouldn't miss my bus, they were wanting more info on my Rb Baby, and as I told them goodbye, they both chimed in at the same time, " Bring your Pleo back next time". :D So today I go back and will bring two of them with me just for fun.
RedwoodsMama Wondering if I can get my Pleos to get some accupuncture.... %)
bhobbes:
Maybe we have the same friends.
Although when mine call mine toys I just tell them worst case scenario they're right and I have no shame being an adult who plays with toys.
But they really aren't toys! I wouldn't need to supervise a toy etc.
I really like the life form definition for Pleo. Though RBs definitely push the pet aspect and are helping take it to the next level.
Crewella:
I take it the other way, many of my friends have cars, or motorbikes, or media systems that they tinker with for pleasure. I class them all as 'toys' (mostly 'boy's toys') so I'm happy for my Pleos to be viewed in the same way. :D

It's nice that your friends actually appreciate your robots once they've seen them, most people just stare at me like I'm crazy when they see me talking to a little robot dog and when I say aibo they immediately try to change the topic and I can't say that they will like my robotic dinosaur any more than they do my aibos. . .
Well, anyway it's a nice video.
