Dear : Let me encourage you to look at C3PO (of Star Wars). A vision of language robots (not necessary with human-like or 'popular' bodies, fills my thought a lot of time. I have a picture of public telephone booths without any phone, people can go in and say they want to call home or a friend and the booths say "I will try to connect ... for you. Would you like some music or refreshment? .... I've got your ... on the line now. The charge will be calculated and reducted from your credit... at the end of call. Go ahead. Beep..... ;-)
