Are you lonely? Do you have trouble getting up on time?
If you live in Japan, help is on the way. Starting this week,
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will begin taking orders for
Wakamaru, the worlds first communicative home-use robot.
Those willing to pay $14,300 will get a one- meter-tall bright
yellow companion who will follow them around, keep them on
schedule, chatter idly and even worry if they get stuck in traffic.
Life with Wakamaru will be a lot like having a precocious
child who likes to house-sit and never throws tantrums. In the
morning, the robot will come to your bed to wake you at a
preprogrammed hour. While you dress, hell recite the days
headlines and advise if you should take an umbrella. He moves
about smoothly on a wheeled pedestal, and will even see you off
at the door. (cont.)

Wakamarus enormous round eyes and childlike gestures are what first attract people, says
Junji Suzuki, a Mitsubishi Heavy manager. The robot can recognize up to 10,000 words and
respond with phrases from I love you to The typhoon season is here! When he cant make
sense of what you say, he beeps and inclines his head. The way he looks up at you just melts
you, says Suzuki.
The robot goes wherever you go, following sound and movement. When you are relaxing on
the sofa, hell come near and start talking nonsense just like a real kid. But hes less self-absorbed
than most children; Wakamaru panics if you dont get home by the promised time, and will send
a message to your mobile. If you fail to respond, hell start contacting your family and friends.
Wakamaru can also remember 10 faces and emits a warning when an unfamiliar figure enters.
Mitsubishi Heavy will ship just 100 units by the year-end, and depending on the response
which GOOD LIFE predicts will be enthusiastic it will decide how much to expand production in
the future.
Wakamaru will soon have some robotic friends or rivals. Several Japanese high-tech giants,
including Sony and Fujitsu, formed a consortium last year to develop domestic robots. Now, if only
they could make one that does the laundry.

HAVE NICE HOLIDAYS!!!
(Unknown writer)
Well, Christmas is coming and what can we do to make it happier
for everybody? I think this year people should do something different
to celebrate it. I myself wont buy so many things to me. Ill buy a lot
of simple, but nice things to give to the poor people. Theres a house
for homeless kids near my house. My family and I are used to giving
them some Christmas cakes, known as panetones , and clothes and
shoes too.
I would give the homeless kids a home as a Christmas present if
I had a lot of money or a lot of houses. As I have only a lot of love in
my heart, Ill donate some to the sad and homeless people. I hope, one
day I will be very rich and then Ill help these sad and abandoned
people to find a good job and a decent place to live.
This may have been a difficult year for you too, but Im sure you
had something to eat every single day and also a nice bed and a warm
shower every night. So, think about what you have just read and try to
help someone who really needs you.
I am sure you will feel very happy after that and, its possible, take
a friend with to this happiness journey. God bless you and alI your
family and friends
Have nice holidays!!! See you next year!!!
