[ExI] ElliQ - AI companion robot for the elderly

[William Flynn Wallace]

 This type of AI companion has become almost
essential for single old people during lockdown.  bill k

I find this truly an incredible statement.  It suggests that a vast
majority of us elders cannot find something to do without help.  My problem
is finding enough time to do all the things I want to do, like make further
dents in my pile of books.  And enough time to find new good ones to
order.  I would probably find one very interesting, but very far from a
necessity.  Am I really in a small minority?    bill w
