What insights does Janis Elspas provide on the future of interactive technology like the Verizon Vgo Robot?

Janis highlights the Verizon Vgo Robot as a glimpse into a future where remote presence becomes everyday life, not just a novelty. Because it can be driven from a laptop, it shows how people will increasingly “be there” without physically being there.

From this, a few key insights about interactive tech’s future emerge:

• More accessible telepresence for school, work, and healthcare
• Greater focus on real-time, two-way interaction (not just watching screens)
• Tech designed to solve practical distance problems for families and professionals
