Paro Baby Seal

Cool idea, but he's really not any better than Pleo. This guy has very limited expression from what I've seen :(

A robotic pacifier for humans the rest of society is too busy to deal with.

first impression is that it's very sweet. Then you start to realize something is terribly wrong with the society when you reach this level of ignorance.

that's so sweet. I guess its alot like the therapy dogs around where I live (they take puppies to nursing homes and it's highly loved) The interaction stimulates the elderly person's mind and keeps them alert. It's a very good thing ^--^ (doesn't help that now I want a paro DX]

I feel so sorry for these old ladies.
They are so nice and lonely and frail.
I am glad they look so happy with this artificial pet.

its very happy that paro can make them feel happy when their family are not around=)

Anything that makes the elderly happy is good. Old folks being happy is awesome.

Any family that puts down the cash for the cutting edge in elderly-happiness technology is cool with me. Yes, they should visit more often, but cute robot baby seals are cool too.

I admire the psychologists and the technologists who put their heads together for this. That's a really good example of smart people not wasting their talents.

Their families should be keeping them company, instead of a toy. They should give them pets, but those might be hard for them to care for.

I'm so happy saw that they love paro so much..paro is so cute!
But it sad to know that they don't spend their time with their family. If my parent become older, I will take care of them with my self. Beause I love my parents.
