One might blame that on the very tech making people lazy and stupid. I am not opposed to (obviously) technology that is of societal value, just not at the cost of human life.  

 pF> I thought to myself "If I download the app, what will you do?"

I've thought that to myself on numerous occasions .. well .. maybe I've said it outloud before too.  It would sure have been nice if their parents had taught them that lesson instead of leaving it to everyone else.  At least, for now, they have the opportunity to learn.

I have an instruction manual on how to disable those ;)  Now, if it can lay the 10 yards of mulch I need, I'd buy the robot (yes, this is me being a hypocrite).
