In the increasingly conceivable future, your dream of having a robot companion will come true. Initially you will ask this new friend to make you eggs and mow the lawn—but it won’t be long before you’re streaming movies together.
I hereby envisage the Elektro-Pal™
Warm to the touch, Elektro-Pal™ will be capable of snuggling and pretending to consume pop-corn—plus, it will press pause for you when you need to visit the bathroom.
