    I don't fall for everything the new technology has in stock, e.g. my smartphone serves me only to make calls and receive calls, it's not my toy loaded with apps.
    I am also not looking forward to a "smart house", open doors with a key. What if there is a blackout and everything fails - you cannot get in and cannot get out? LOL
    I also don't add to the wealth of Amazon by ordering everything online through them. I am sure that I don't want an Alexa in my home.
    What will the near and far future be like? We are all supposed to have a chip under the skin with our ID, health records, financial activities and more....... updates will be made automatically....... And the final dream is the creation of Transhumanism.
Myseek, I don't blame you for feeling the way you do. My Alexa chooses when to listen to me and sometimes she gets involved in conversations when I don't even say her name. Very odd. That said, I do love gadgets and love controlling the lights with my commands (when Alexa CHOOSES to listen). I am very interested in what new inventions will come up.

I am not sure what a "smart house" would involve but if there is no manual way to override things if there is a blackout, count me out. Thanks for your input.

    I would be curious to see that video. If it has the benefits of a dog like companionship and feelings of being unconditionally loved and no vets or dog walking needed, I may get one. Thanks for your response.
I think if you search on this string of words the video should come up in the search results: "This Adorable Therapy Dog - Isn't A Dog At All Youtube".

You'll know you have the right video if the thumbnail shows a golden Labrador retriever puppy .... errrr robot!

A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

I better not comment on that as it may get me in trouble. Thanks ET.
