Robo sponge bath

No, thank you.
The Georgia Institute of Technology develops a robot that can give people sponge baths.

The mere thought of it gives me what doctors refer to technically as the "heebie jeebies".

  1. It's giving me the hebbie-jebbies too.

    I dread to think how Sarah connor feels about it . . .

  2. Funny thing about all the grand ideas for "patient care" machines. Nobody has ever figured out how to make one that has a bedside manner.

    Of course, the medical professionals who advocate them are more often noted for having bedside attitudes, so they probably wouldn't notice the difference.

    cheers

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
