There are a few signs you can get that your parents either have too much money, too much time, are too geeky, or all of the above. My dad recently bought a robotic vaccum cleaner from the sharper image. What is the world coming to? Its like the jetsons, but lets not go there...
Not like I am complaining. I personally love the little thing that came in the mail today. It stands a few inches tall, beeps all the time, and cleans the kitchen floor while I either watch it in awe, or go online. Okay, let me get a few things across... I love robots. If you havent seen the robotics section on this site, you may not know this, but I have since I was a kid (just ask anyone in my 8th grade class :)). So when this thing got here, I just wanted to see how it worked. It is actually, to say the least, ingenius. It did, however, go through 14 different releases before it even came out on the market. So this guy (we have yet to name him) it pretty darn smart. The program that he runs on must be extremely long, because he is one intelligent vaccuum. (don't say that every day). If you want to know more, go to the site, or email me. If you have the 200 bucks, go get one, cuz they're awsome.
