From Tamagotchis to artificial intelligence companions, we humans are trained to nurture and care for robots. Humans naturally tend to anthropomorphize and empathize with inanimate objects so it is not crazy that we connect deeply when technology is built to be interacted with. This collection details this strange relationship and the ways technology can enhance our lives. From imaginings of worlds where robots and humans fall in love to factual tellings featuring the rise of AI and its ability to mimic our communication styles, this collection will look at this endless battle between technology being our friend and being our replacement.
