AIBO vs. Scruffy



According to research in the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, Sony's AIBO robotic dog helped to alleviate loneliness for people in old folks' homes just as much as a real dog. I guess this type of discovery will be considered quaint in 20 years, but it's still pretty amazing for me right now.

That's very interesting--and pretty sad.
