At first I thought you had been reading too much Kafka again, but then I opened the link, and now I think it has real possibilities. For one thing, as my husband pointed out, you could get falling-down drunk and not fall down. For another, it probably walks faster than you do. What an attitude-enhancer! Can we get a group discount?
Seriously, it looks like an idea whose time has come.  Jaye

I can'T do it, but I know enough to know that it can be done - you buy one at the same place as you'd buy a wheel chair, say. It would have enough computing power that you or a third party could strap it on, hit the switch, say "Brush teeth." and go brush your teeth. One time through, save, and with the help of a common GPS unit, from this point all you have to do is to say "Brush teeth." aloud anywhere in the house, and off you go.
