Response to Jocelyn's Post (Robots)

Do you think this is benefical? How do you think his relationships will be when he goes to highschool? Do you think that we'll see this more over the years?

I think that this is very beneficial. The child that uses this robot has a severe allergy and therefore this is a good alternative for him to be involved in a classroom setting.  Of course, his social interaction might be altered as a result of these interactions, but not in a more negative light than a child with no social interaction. (If he had no robot in the classroom to be connected with.)  I think that he will need to adjust to socially interacting in person once he gets to high school, but most people are pretty awkward in high school and I have faith that he will be able to adapt.
