Nexi can be used for many different things as well as be a friend to many different people. However Nexi is used I hope they enjoy her to the fullest. I think that Nexi is a great invention.

It'll be so cool if someday they sell these things programmed to do anything in your life! I noticed it didn't talk as fast a normal human, but that can be ignored unless you're having a long conversation with it. This just shows how advanced technology is today. What's next? Electric Cars replacing gasoline ones? XP Oh My Gosh! That’s 100% awesome! It’ll be so cool if someday they sell these things programmed to do anything in your life!

But what is Nexi made for? Just to move? Just to show people how far in technology we are? Or is it/she just made to make/take jobs? In other words, what is its/her purpose? I have to admit, it/she is a pretty cool... being. I wonder what is going to happen when Nexi is taken and upgraded/updated. Wow, thats really impressive. But what is Nexi made for? Just to move?

If her mouth, and upper cheek muscles moved, the expressions would be much more realistic and you could add so much more to the facial expressions. You could program her to tighten her upper cheek muscles when she is trying to suppress a laugh or to smile. That would be very interesting. I also noticed for the video that she struggled to pronounce longer words, such as the word dexterous. I don't exactly know how to fix that, but other wise, she is an amazing piece of technology and MIT should be proud of her. Thats awesome!!!

I noticed from the animation that happy and surprised don't read on her face. I also wish nexi was more cartoony looking or muppet like, and less scary. Nexi is interesting.
