機器寵物

機器寵物給年長者機會，享受擁有寵物的樂趣卻不必負擔任何責任。

A pet for the old...
Older people are especially fond of robo-pets. They may not have the energy or
mobility to care for a real pet. Older people may also have memory loss and can forget to care for a real pet. Or they may not be able to afford the food and medicine that animals need. But robo-pets don't require such care and can be a fun presence in someone's life. Robo-pets give older people the opportunity to enjoy a pet without any of the responsibilities.
and the young
Robo-pets are popular with children, too. Caring for a robo-pet can be a good way to learn responsibility. For children who are scared of real dogs or cats, robo-pets can also gradually help them face their fears. And if kids want to go beyond the typical dogs and cats, they can choose something more imaginative. Robotic toy unicorns, dinosaurs and more are also possibilities. Whichever robo-pet you choose, you will have a fun friend.
