“Mr. Mott often forgets important meetings. The robot will go after him all the time. It listens to everything he says. It sees everything he does. At night, it watches him sleep. It knows everything about Mr. Mott…”

Just imagine that there is a video camera around you all day. How do you feel? When you are taking an exam, a teacher sits in front of you and watches you all the time. How do you feel?

Mr. Mott doesn’t lose all his memory. At least he remembers that he always forgets. So why can’t he do something for this HIMSELF? He can keep a notebook with him, like most people do.
