As if the japanese weren't already bizarre enough, now they've gone and created electronic pets. The most famous of the inventions is probably the new design named Aibo. It is a 21st century cat/dog that can recognise your voice, take pictures of its surroundings, respong to your touch and express five different emotions!But it doesn't end there. Aibo is PS2 compatible. It has a memory stick slot, which is a storage format which is also coming to PS2. Hopefully Aibo will soon be available in the UK as well, in its gold, black or silver colouring.
So once more your the inhabitants of your fish tank have gone belly up. Well don't fret the japanese have a solution for you. New robotic fish mean you do not have to bother feeding, filtering or even cleaning your fishes tank. Thanks to japanese toy maker Takara, all you have to do to keep these Aquaroids alive, is provide a light source above their tank to fuel their solar-powered batteries.
There are two types of Aquaroid available, Fish and Jellyfish. The latter is easily the more eye-catching with a semi-transparent, bio-chemical appearence.Very impressive to look at indeed!
So now you will never have to feel guilty about neglecting your fish again and won't have to worry about your dog using your slippers as a toilet!
