We used to call them tools. Then our children grew up with them. They named them. They loved them. And when someone tried to take them away, our children fought back. They will replace our dogs and cats and goldfish. But they are so much more. They talk back. They remember your child's nightmares and know exactly what to say. Your kid tells them secrets before telling you. We just never thought about what happens when the first generation that grows up with them looks at us and says: "You can't just throw them away. They're not things." This is not a story about machines rising up. This is a story about people who loved too much, meant too well, and never saw the box they were opening.
