Giving a dog a bone may be a thing of the past. Actually, giving a dog a marrow-filled bone may be a thing of the past, while giving a dog an Aibone may be a thing of the future.

Sony’s Aibo ers-7 with Mind 3 upgrade is an artificial intelligence robot dog. There’s no need to worry about teaching an old dog new tricks — this one comes preprogrammed with them. There’s a lot of potential here, and AI technology is leaping and bounding every day, but this puppy is just a little too slow to maintain the attention of anyone older than eight. And for almost $2,000, you can get a very nice purebred.
