Japanese have crazy ideas of using robots to do everything in life. They’ve got this pretty good idea, which uses a robot called Oboe to absorb all the memories of an elderly person, and keep them for their loved ones. So, when you’ve left this world, those coming generations in your family tree would be able to get to know more about you by spending time with Oboe.
Oboe is specially designed to hang out with the elderly, so it can absorb the knowledge and experiences from the old folks. So, when an elderly person has passed away, the memory will be carried by Oboe, which can then be passed on to the future generations, making the memory immortal.
When you age and you’ll finally leave this world one day, but your memory will still remain in a Oboe robot, which can be passed on to the coming generations. Unfortunately, the catch is the world would soon be full of “robotic old folks” one day.

Umm…
So it just magically absorbs their “experiences”, eh? LOL
No, I presume it records your voice, so you’ll be able to hear your grandma talk about whatever well after death.
Just get a friggin’ digital camera. Then you don’t have to have a big ugly robot that, at first, just remains (innocuously?) in your grandma’s living room before coming to stand motionless in some part of your house.
…
I don’t know what else to say. Getting creeped out.

PS: The only hardware in it is that hard drive, so the rest of the “robot” is just plastic and metal with glowing bits on it.
