And your iPhone has front facing and back facing cameras.....
Until I can have a Rosie (Jetsons) I don’t see that they’re worth having. I have remotes that can turn on my tv and speakers.

Well, that can come in handy for notifying and reminding people they're running low on toilet paper, then it can automatically order more, from Amazon.com of course.
The future is drones.
My theory is HE was Number 1.
