That's Weird Grandma
TWG Weekly Update
Let’s face it: technology is a hot topic. We are a society frantically trying to keep up with new technological inventions. Just getting or experiencing a new technological interface is the zeitgeist. This hardly leaves time to assess whether our new device or app or robot is good or actually improving our life.
Fortunately, Jose from Avondale School has pondered the tough questions for us in his argument-
I think we should have babysitter robots.
He weighs the good and the bad- efficiency vs. human connection, taking vs. deferring responsibility for one’s children… it’s all there.
Also, this is your last chance to see this particular cast performing these particular stories. I know the show changes every week, but certain cast members will have their last show on Monday and so certain popular stories will likely leave the show.
Have you seen, for example, The Model? Good Days? I am a Dragon?
Popular, great, not to be missed.
Be there.
$2 off at the box office by saying, “babysitter robots”
