Could these be the toys that teach your children multiple languages, that help provide some interactivity to neglected children, that save the next generation from passive consumption of non-interactive broadcast media? Or will they fall into the Uncanny Valley, seem creepy to adults but desensitize children to the true humanity of living people, ushering in a generation of humans so comfortable with robots that the robots proliferate and ultimately… Well, you can imagine. Perhaps it’s post-humanity that will feel like Elvis’s swinging hips for our generation, so wrong to us but a much-loved part of the future for our children.
