Bots


Look at the words and the title of the video and decide what you think it will be about.


Boy 'lived as a robot' for two months


bone marrow transplant
family friend

isoloation room
two older brothers
silicon valley
cameras
microphone and speakers
remotely navigated
mute button
robot
recovery
operation
computer
wifi


Now watch the first 2 minutes  and see if you are correct


Now answer these questions 
Do you think this is a newstory or an advert?
Why do you think they mother liked the Gradybot?
What problems do you think might occur?
What improvements can you think of for the anybots?
Who might enjoy having an anybot?
What practical uses can you think of?
How much do you think it costs?
What one obvious problem is there?

Watch the whole video and see if you're ideas are mentioned. 

Now see if you can work out what these words mean.
