C'mon. 1) Barbie's origins are borderline pornographic.
If she's now talking to little girls with the help of AI it's a step up. Bonus points: parental control and the ability to log those adorable conversations. "Surveillance" means being watched by someone unseen. Barbie is right f'n there. 2) You gotta be huffin' fumes if Google Cardboard is now "The Matrix Junior." Ever played with one? It's like having a cell phone right in front of your face. There's a reason we've been batshit about VR since Lawnmower Man but adoption remains pathetically low. 3) Adults google the shit out of things all the time. The difference here? You don't need to know how to type. Besides which, it's a Kickstarter. Know what I just did? Googled "Amazon si" and Google came back with "Amazon Siri-like device" and gave me this. I'll take the dinosaur, thanks. What's that, Lassie? LInk to that hilarious Barbie vs. Canon EOS video? Okay, twist my arm...
