Have you seen the advertisement for Amazon’s latest toy?

I don’t know about you, but if my home has gone unmonitored until now, I say leave well enough alone.
.

Do I need a robot following me from room to room?
Of course not. That’s what cats are for.
.
.
Is it me.. or does the blink make this robot look like a demented duck with an open beak ?
.

A periscope? That might come in handy if my husband is trying to sneak another piece of crap into the house… but still, no.
.

Nope.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten would not enjoy that at all.

River's world..... 
A solution for a solitary individual that doesn’t want or be bothered with the companionship of a warm cuddly pet? But then again it means added responsibility as opposed to connecting a cold robot to the mains to recharge it when it can no longer follow the person around the house?

I suppose pulling the plug if it argues with you could be emotionally rewarding, but it’s still a no from me.

I can’t even tolerate it when Roomba is underfoot, so I definitely don’t want this. Can you say, “Invasion of Privacy”??

So let me get this straight. You unleash a device that can be controlled by Alexa with the power to not only enter, control, and snoop into all you electronic smart devices, but it can also run around snooping on your house interior? It can monitor your likes, dislikes, shortages, housekeeping skills, even the number of hangers you need to hang your laundry. It can snoop and see when you need Tide Pods, Brillo pads, ground beef and Dry Swiffer pads….and then ORDER them without notifying you. Yeah, I do believe I will pass.

The fact that we open our doors to these things and then complain about invasion of privacy is mind boggling. Alexa hears everything. All the time. It’s basically a listening device… and people pay to be spied on. It’s crazy.

That would be so annoying. Is everyone so paranoid that they need a robot to monitor their home? And I thought my neighbour who has to leave a ton of outdoor lights on all night was bad.

I don’t need a robot to monitor my home. I don’t need a phone app to open my doors. And I certainly don’t need a refrigerator who tells me I’m running low on milk. When I’m too decrepit to do those things myself I’ll willingly shuffle off this mortal coil…

Yes it does look like a demented duck and what have we said about AI? I expect that this “thing” would annoy Charles beyond belief and I’d come back to a “monitoring” device in pieces. I’m with you….hell no!

My question with these things is always why? Why do we need a robot following us around the house and monitoring our every move….

Oh great a smart phone on wheels. Maybe it will fall down the steps and get put up on a shelf in the basement.

Mmm. Might not be so bad. Give it a spritzer, and anytime Sire Dudley decides to hop up on the counter, “spritz!” and snaps a picture to prove he was engaging in cat like activities …

Demented ducks would be safer to have around. I can only assume items like this are created because there is a demand for them, which ultimately may be even more scary than the item itself.
