It looks like she controls it by rubbing its two silver balls.
Yes. I'm afraid we're doomed.
LOL! Well maybe one day they'll invent a robotic caddy.
Hmmmmm...except for the silver part, isn't that how most women control their men, LOL!
I wasn't. I am able to use a walker at home. Only have to use a wheelchair outside of my home. Nothing political correct about that. I have no problem with the word "confined" to those who are. I am much better off than some I know who really are "confined."
I was simply stating that I can stand,etc without the help of any present or future device. For those who are "confined" however, I hope such a device becomes available.
Please accept my most humble apology. I misunderstood it when you said you weren't confined to a wheelchair. I think so many of us have been conditioned by political correctness to think in a narrow way. That's what I did when I saw your comment and jumped to an incorrect conclusion.
In any case, as mentioned before, I truly enjoyed our conversation. I know this thread is lighthearted, but I'm also a bit astonished at how quick so many have been to dismiss the underlying point of Toyota's rather over-the-top glossiness of its concepts introduction. You gave me an opportunity to discuss the more serious aspects of this news, and for that I'm grateful.
LOL. I'll just insert Wolfstar's "Ewwwwwww..." earlier comment here!
;)
Apology accepted...you don't know me so you had no way of knowing what I meant. I do hope that future technology will advance the quality of life for those who are handicapped(no I don't have a problem with that word:-) )
