With a long-distance robot, you can tend to the cooking, and even trade hugs.

I can foresee the possibility that these will become household items. You could have a maid come by, (telerobotically).

Also, get your meals prepared, have a nurse visit and take vital measurements, get the plumber to fix a leaky faucet without having to put up with any cracks, wise or otherwise.

You could have visits from friends, but this might depend on having a variable robot of some kind.

A middle-school kid is attending school telerobotically. The robot looks more like a teletubby than a kid, but what the heck.

And one other advantage of this potential technology is that if you have a useful skill that can be transmitted in this fashion, you can go to work almost any time you want to!

Erm...sorry, Bob, but I’m too old to let telerobotics into my hum-drum life. Talk to my kids. I’m sure their kids will respond favorably...
