It won't be far off before we get half way to the Jetson's way of life. I wonder if they will conduct a longer study to see if the children will continue to treat the robot as a peer and not a toy.

This article is neat because if Education had enough funding Robots could be found throughout the school system helping teachers teach young children. Like the article says. It might take time for students to warm up to the odd object but over time they begin to relate and treat it as it would its peers. Too bad robots cost so much to create and maintain.
