What will the mix of technology, imagination, and marketing concoct next?
Televisitation
Is your spouse always away on business? Do you have family or friends that live far away? Now you can feel like they are in your home regardless of distance. “Televisitation” allows people be a part of your life in a way not previously possible. Gather around in the living room, watch TV together, socialize in a natural way - they’ll seem so close that you’ll forget they’re far away. The Giraffe is also great for parties - that special guest who couldn’t make it now has a way to attend!
Come on now, who in the hell is going to go to a party via teleconference. And better yet who is going to talk to “the looser on the teleconference robot”? I think it would be funny to taunt the person that wasn’t there, or try to feed the machine booze and watch it go berserk. Televisitation, stupid marketers thinking they can invent words.
I want technology to do cool things like teleportation, that way I could actually BE at the party instead of having my face digitized on a moving screen. Although, imagine an entire “virtual party” where everyone was interacting via these weird robots. You could sit at your computer, naked, drinking your favorite cocktails without having to actually be around other people. You know if this country’s wireless infrastructure was up to par we could make these suckers wireless and no one would ever have to physically leave their homes. We could send our robots to do our bidding.
