Cool. Maybe he can go for a walk when my mom is saying "It's nice weather, go play outside!" Then I don't need to do that.

So I suppose you ... ( 1 week ago by Pewpewlas3rgun)

So I suppose you have the money or time to visit your elderly parents whenever they are not answering the phone, or they ask you to come help with something (i.e. the fridge/toilet), especially if they live in another state or country? And besides, this guy is even more useful for the former, because if they, for example, are not answering the phone due to illness, you will probably arrive at their house too late. But with the robot you can "arrive" at their house and check on them instantly.

So what if it ... ( 1 week ago by Pewpewlas3rgun)

So what if it malfunctions? God forbid it shuts down the elderly person has to fend for themselves (or have to get a human loved one/caretaker to come and help them) for a few hours while it is fixed, like they did before the advent of such machines? And what's the worst wrong decision it could make? It checks the person's heartrate when he asks for a glass of water? Stop being so paranoid.

JULZHU, I command you to watch Wall-E. You will IMMEDIATELY change your position on the evilness of robots. If you don't, go up to the ticket booth and ask for your money back. It probably won't help you a bit, but I think it will be funny.

OH NOES!! The helper robots (that aren't even sentient) are going to rebel and destroy teh world!! That is, if the LHC doesn't make micro black holes and/or strangelets to suck up the world/turn us all into strange matter!! And if that doesn't happen, then we will all be killed by the apocalypse on 2012!! Eep!
Ahh, paranoia.

i didnt think so
u may think that it is superior, yet, if, it makes a mistake, just if, its going to be all on you.

A doctor can make mistakes, same with a emts we all make mistakes look how many doctors and emts accidentally killed people based on negligents
We can use this tool to help but we shouldnt rely on it as the only means because of your what if's (like break down, malfunction, a table thats in the way)

i am reading the past comments. and they r ture. it isnt very practicle, it is short and it will only be used as a privacy breeching tool for spying or something like that. why not just leave the robot alone, and place more fundings into the medical system. also, any doctor who looses patients by "negligence" can get the boot from the system we dont need them and u may be thinking that the whole purpose of this is to aid before doctors come which is good but not good due to the chance of mistake

I love this movie and lil Wall-E, but "WALL-E" is fiction! The real robots are created by humans and have no feelings. :(

Ah, yes, Wall-E is fiction, as is the Terminator, which you suggested the creators of the robot watch to be convinced of the evilness of their creation.

Wait, my bad, on ... ( 4 days ago by Pewpewlas3rgun)

Wait, my bad, on closer inspection you did not say that, another person from another video made the comment about the Terminator. My bad. But the point still stands - why would a robot go beserk just because there's alot of fictional movies that say it will? Or because it has no feelings?
On another note, I just noticed Audio Preview! CON-FUCKING-GRATS to YouTube for taking Xkcd's advice! Now all they need to do is make it compulsory...

That would be ... ( 4 days ago by Pewpewlas3rgun)

That would be amazing! Holy god that is an awesome idea - nobody would ever invade a house again if they knew there was a frigging merciless machine with a plasma cannon for an arm in there! Ok, maybe a plasma cannon is a bit excessive - a tazer (or perhaps the heat ray in development) would suffice (assuming the robot was heavily armoured, so it can resist gunshots from a gang of home invaders as it picks them off with the tazer, one by one).

YES. ( 4 days ago by MidnightsWrath)

This robot will get mugged if it leaves the house (eventually), possibly by people who've actually seen the movie Wall-E..
