Pekoppa
06/09/2008 @ 6:00 am
Sega Toys has come out with a new plastic plant robot thingy that apparently is designed for people who have no one to talk to.
The Pekoppa sits there like a regular plastic plant until you talk to it, which will cause the stem to bend, creating the impression that the plant is nodding in agreement with what you are saying to it. The effect is achieved by an IC chip in the pot that identifies rhythms of human speech. Electrical current causes the stem to bend and stretch.
Thanks to Len Cullum

Tried talking to the dieffenbachia but it turned out to be mute, and the english ivy would prattle incoherently on and on all kinds of weird stuff…
Gave up on talking to plants. Traded ‘em in for exchanging messages with a poetry obsessed fish.
