Hehe - so I can put my Sony dog on a Segway and he can take a walk by himself?!?

Sony robotic puppies and Segway HT's? What ever happened to walking your dog when you came home from work?!?
We Americans sure are lazy - we need gyroscopic controlled 'personal runabouts' to move down a block or two, and since we're too lazy to take care of real dogs, we have 'lectric pooches as our friends. What do they poop? Silicon?!?
Not to mention cell phones that are seemingly surgically attached to our ears, "online friends," PDA's that are more powerful than PC's from a few years ago, LCD screens & DVD's in our SUV's, e-Harmony internet dating services, e-Bay auctions, virtual EVERYTHING....and the list goes on...
Sheesh... it's the end of the world as we know it...
-Z-man.
