That is an absolutely abhorrent point of view. How are children supposed to learn empathy and responsibility for other living beings if their only example is a pet that they can turn off whenever it's convenient or they get bored with it? It's this very lack of empathy that's already showing up in today's college generation. I say "good riddance" that these products were discontinued if that was the market they were aimed at.

In all seriousness though, dull is good. Keep the robots fetching beer and vacuuming and let people do the nurturing, entertaining, and brightening our lives.
Robots will definitely become more common. The ones that entertain us may lag in popularity behind those that have a job to do but so what?
