When robots develop a more human form of communicating and thinking, how will we humans react to them? Will we potentially start to care so much for the software (the personality) in our lawnmowers, that we'll be unable to scrap them when they break? What are the chances of getting emotionally attached to a robot in the same way that we get attached to another human being or a pet?
