Do children need to conjure up virtual/imaginary friends anymore with toys like these?

Amazing technology but I think playing in the dirt with action figures is a dying art among the single-digit-year-folks.

I wonder if they are doing real-time voice synthesis. We've come a long way since the Speak & Spell (from E.T.).

We've come from E.T. to A.I. -- Super-toys last all summer long. :)

the dirt is still there, if anyone wants it.

the only case against elmo is that people prefer it.

No evil robot I've ever imagined to mass produce as my minions in my bid for global domination has been half this sinister...

If this were slashdot I'd welcome an overlord of some sort.

This is really cool. I want to see a Hacker culture spring up around the Elmo!

The product rep in those videos is brilliant.
