The robotic teddy bear Huggable, built as a companion for children and the elderly, has two thousand sensors under its fur-covered silicon skin that can measure temperature, force, and electrical fields. Embrace it, and it hugs back. Put it on your lap, and it looks up at you with video camera eyes and nuzzles into your arms. Set it on a table, and it can look around, catch your gaze, and gesture to be picked up. All the while, the robotic bear relays audio, video, and other information wirelessly to a nurse, tutor, babysitter, or parent. Is the Huggable being hit or ignored? Has the child fallen or gotten distracted? The Huggable knows, and can tell. A Huggable can strengthen family ties, enabling a soldier, business traveler, or faraway grandparent to be with a child virtually.

Many people fear that the computer will replace other valuable forms of content creation, such as writing a short story on a blank piece of paper by using a simple pencil, or painting a picture with watercolors. This concern needs to be taken seriously. The computer does not replace such traditional forms of content creation but rather adds to the long list of forms available. Of course, it is up to us to determine whether digital creativity will replace other forms. Much depends on the choices that we are making ─ whether, for instance, we encourage our children to use paper and crayons to make their first drawings or sit them in front of our PCs and let them draw with the mouse. We should certainly be encouraging them to use a broad range of media to express themselves ─ including low-tech media such as pens, crayons, and paper, among others.
