It’s sort of cool for the first 5 minutes.  Then it’s just sort of a show off toy.

I think the year’s worst gadgets are those robotic dogs.  Most of them are over $2000 and they don’t really do a whole lot.  I guess it is a big step in the robotic direction though.  Who knows what other better things will come out soon :D
