Old People Love AIBO as much as Leading Competitor

According to an article at Wired, a study shows that old people are able to form relationships about as well with AIBO as they can with a real dog. Then the article talks about how this is a big surprise and that someday we will form relationships with robots.

Keep in mind this is after that one guy wrote a book on robot love. I think 'early bird' points go to the guy.

Still, yes, people and robots. All I know is that I like people, and that I suppose I could learn robots. But I sure won't hold my breath; this is a science that's not going anywhere significant soon.
