Is it time to consider this yet?

Would it be a good idea to buy one of these Toyota robots so it could take care of me in my old age? DW seems to like the idea.....

Quote:
Makers of robots see big potential for their use in Japan, where the number of elderly people is rapidly growing, causing labour shortages in a country that strictly controls immigration. Japanese are famed for their longevity of life, with more than 30,000 people aged at least 100 years old, a trend attributed to a healthy cuisine and active lifestyle.
Toyota's new robot can play the violin, help the aged

I'd hold off for this model, but you'd have some 'splaining to do with DW.
