She can't hear things.
This is not somebody who's leaned hard into modern technology.
And suddenly there was this machine sitting next to her on the table
It would animate at these random moments.
It would light up in different ways.
It would shift toward her and say, hi, Jan, how are you this morning?
Jan, do you want to hear a joke?
Jan, do you want to have a conversation?
And during those first days, Jan's reflexive answer was no.
No, no, thank you.
Not now.
No, not this moment.
She didn't know how to talk to this robot.
She didn't feel comfortable sharing much of herself with this inanimate object that was sitting next to her on a table.
But slowly, day after day, as eight times a day, every day, this thing tried to engage her, she got used to its attempts at engagement.
And she would at least say, okay, what do you want?
Or, all right, I'll hear this joke.
I probably heard this thing tell at least 100 jokes.
Some of them are terrible, but some of them sort of catch you off guard enough that they're a little bit charming.
And the other thing about the jokes for LEQ is that because it's monitoring everything, it dials in its jokes to meet you where you are.
