Stay home, send robot

Will 2011 be the year of the robot avatar? I have my doubts. But it's definitely a nifty niche product—a way to have more-natural business meetings without flying everybody to one, central location, and without having to confine the meeting to a specialized teleconference room. Inevitable downside: When your boss starts expecting your avatar to show up, even when you're sick or on vacation.
