RE: ROBOTS FOR HANDICAPPED BABIES

Just FYI, "disabled" is a more appropriate word than "handicapped" in the disability community. Also "people first" language is best, so "babies with disabilities."

Thanks. You are doing a great job - love receiving the updates!

RE: OF ROBOTS AND FISH

 I think having robots for handicapped babies is a waste of time and creative thinking. They should focus on building robots for the senior handicapped and disabled, the terminally ill, etc. As society ages, the need to support the aged becomes more critical, and the number of babies reduced.

 
Talking about the declining population of wild salmon, do you realize that about 50 years ago, codfish could be caught just off the shores of Newfoundland? Now they are worth their weight in gold. Human civilization is "screwing" up the planet and its fishes.
