Summary: The grandmother of tech tycoon Chris had plenty of free time at her disposal. She trained the robots Chris gave her with emotions, word by word and smile by smile. His grandmother infused a great deal of love, emotions, and smiles into the robots, and she is now emotionally attached to these gifted creations. The robots are now filled with love. This started the trend of personalized robots.

“Granny, what was that you said?”

“You are an Avatar of a magnificent kind, my dear.”

“Avatar? What’s an avatar, Granny? How am I an avatar?”

“You are so special to me, baby; that’s why I call you such amazing things.”

Granny chuckled and stepped back.

“I would be there to guide you.”

“Granny, am I really this small, and are you really that old?”

“I will be here to see you grow and to guide you always.”

“Really”

“Yes, I will always be here to guide you, my child. You are my favourite.”

20 years later…

Chris has matured now.

“Granny, where are you? Where’s Mom? I hardly get to see you these days.”

“I know, child, she knows too.”

“Mama was always busy. Now, where are you busy at, Granny?

“I’m busy with the robots you built for me, my child.”

“What”

“Yeah, the robot you gave me?”

“Yes, I gifted you and Mom a lot of robots, Granny.”

“I am teaching the robots that you created.”

“My robots are intelligent and don’t need teaching, Granny and Mama.”

“No, my son, these robots respond to emotional teaching.”

“Yes, really.””

“You provided us with robots to comfort us and assist in old age, but we discovered a way to enhance them.”

“Improve, let me know what you taught them; I will call them back to my factory.”

“Yes, I taught them about love and care.”

“Love and care”

“Yes, teaching love and intimate care takes time, and your Mama and I are usually free, so we can teach the robots you send about love and care.”

“Can’t the robots love and care? The ones I send you, Granny?”

“No child, I am speaking of human love, the feelings that arise from genuine closeness and touch.”

“Granny, you are amazing!”

“No, you’re amazing! Your company makes excellent kinds of robots that even beginners like us can train, Mama.”

“Oh Granny, I love you so much! Don’t say you don’t know anything; I am who I am because of your love and God’s will. I wish everyone had a Granny like you.”

“Yes, my lovely child.””

I will copy this training from these robots to others.

“Copy? Why? It should be trained according to the needs of an individual.”

“Sure, Granny. I can have around 100 different types of emotions embedded in robots. Users can choose which ones they like best.”

“Alright, my child, it can be done this way. I will send you my robots shortly.”

“It took you a long time to make robots truly emotional and full of love; not everyone has that much time.”

“I have a lot of time, my child.

“Thanks, Granny!”

“You are my sweet one who came to Earth from far away.”

“I love you, Granny. You always say that.”

“I love you too, my dear child. You will always be a child to me.”

“I will name these emotionally charged robots after you, Granny.”

“I didn’t do much; I was just testing your robots.”

“Oh Granny, you’re so amazing.”

I will miss my robots. Please send them back soon; life is tough without my robots now.

“Sure, Grandma. I love you so much, Grandma.”

“I love you too, my child.”

Granny smiled and stepped outside to spend time with the rabbits she cherished.

10 days later..

“Granny, I’m not giving Blushy back. I’ll return all the other robots to you.”

“Did you like Blushy? I wanted to train her to take care of you.”

“Oh, Grandma, she’s amazing!”

This started the trend of personalized robots.
