Google files patent for creepy teddy bear | Fox 59


If it senses you’re looking at it, the fuzzy toy will rotate its head and look back at you. Once it receives and recognizes a voice command prompt, you can then tell it to control media devices in your home (e.g. turn on your music or TV).


And, IoT...Internet of Things.  Is this some new fad phrase?

MY sister has the Echo, "Alexa". She times dinner, plays music on command.  But with several people in the room, you have to yell Alexa to wake her up and get a response. 

Its bad enough I talk to my dogs.  I'm not talking to a stuffed bear.

"thanks for the ride lady" Creepshow 2 Best Scene (Thanks for the ride, lady!) - YouTube

I saw this way back when it came out.  My husband tortured me with "thanks for the ride lady" for months. Still creeps me out.
