You stumbled across a weblink to something called “Bonzi-Buddy”. Curiousity got to you as you clicked on the link and scrolled through the info about it, how it can tell jokes, sing, surf the web with you, write appointments, etc. You decided to download it and go through the process of installing it. Once that was finished, you open up the exe program and a virtual purple gorilla swung in from a vine and then waved.

“Hello there! I don’t believe we’ve been properly introduced.”

He bows politely.

“I’m Bonzi! What is your name?”

A text box appears, seemingly wanting you to type your name in it.
