Have you ever named an inanimate object (like a car, a computer, or a stuffed animal)? Why did you do it?, Have you ever felt sad or angry when an electronic device (like a phone or laptop) broke or stopped working? Did you feel like you "lost" a friend?, Did you ever own a Tamagotchi or a similar virtual pet? How did you feel when it "died" in the game?, Do you talk to your devices (e.g., "Come on, work!" to a slow computer)? Do you think the device can "hear" you?, Why do you think human beings have a natural tendency to attach emotions to machines or software? Is it because we are lonely, or is it just how our brains are wired?, How do companies design robots or software to make us like them? (Think about voices like Siri/Alexa, or cute faces on robots). Is this manipulative?, In what situations could the Tamagotchi Effect be helpful?, In the future, do you think people will fall in love with AI or robots? Is this a healthy development for society?
