While browsing through the web last night I chanced upon a
rather interesting news story. An artificial intelligence engineer announced
that his company will soon launch a male version of a female life-like sex
machine/companion that is currently on the market.
Like its female counterpart, the male robot will be designed
to be like a real man and programmed to
"respond" to the physical sensations it receives. It will also talk about topics geared towards
its user's interests.
"Sex only goes so far. And then you want to be able to
talk," said the engineer, whom I
gave credit for being rather thoughtful and caring.
Then my mind started clicking. I wonder what my Romeo-robot
will say if I ask: Honey, will you please mow the yard tomorrow?
Depending on Romeo's answer, its reported price tag of from
$7,000 to $10,000 just might be worth the
investment. Grass in Hawaii , after all, amazingly grows an inch at
the blink of an eye.
And then there are the other benefits to consider. Move over R2D2!

Haha. The perfect male?
