This is creepy.  Or cool.  I can't decide.

Which gets me to another point.  It is inevitable that in time robots will be indistinguishable from humans.  Shouldn't another law be added to Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders

I imagine in less than 30 years we will be interacting with robots that are indistinguishable from humans so often during the day that it will hardly raise a synthetic eyebrow.

Yes, and as much as I hate to say it, I imagine robot technology will be pushed away by those who want to use it for intimate purposes (that is, sex), much like the Internet was.

Me too. Plus maybe I could program it to go to work in my place today, and I could go back to sleep. ;)
