As a big SciFi fan I always wanted to have a robot as a kid. I also wanted to have a giant space gorilla who could launch missiles and teleport me to mars.

Modern parents are already using machines to babysit their offspring: they are called TVs and PlayStations. These are semi-intelligent entertainment robots to keep your kids busy.

But do we really want even more complex machines to educate, relate and raise our kids? I don’t think so. Raising humans should be a human job. People should rely less on machines and get proper nannies or tutors to get their kids a better start.

Even animals will do a better job teaching little humans about (organic) life. No matter how intelligent Robots will be some day, they are not organic beings, they are not the perfect example how to grow up and what it means to deal with the human condition.

General it’s a shame that most parents no longer care or have the time to play with their kids – they themselves are either too busy working or entertaining themselves. So in some way, we are getting addicted and distracted by digital slaves providing easy leisure …

We yourselves dehumanize our societies by being perfect consumers or too cocooned individuals.
