Viodi View

Viodi View The Bridge between the Heartland and Silicon Valley. We publish about 26 times a year and have been reporting on this unique niche since 2002.

We report, via video and text, on new technology, media and marketing initiatives that independent broadband service providers will find interesting. We cover conferences, as well travel off-the-beaten path to find stories about how broadband is being deployed from the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota to old gold mines of the mother lode to innovative Fiber to the Home initiatives in the Low Country of South Carolina.

It also offers a more efficient garbage collection method than traditional garbage trucks.

Here metaCat, here metaCat…. As seen in the above video, filmed at CES 2025, it only takes a few seconds to zoomorphize one of Elephant Robotics’ lifelike robots. Their metaAnimal series of robots targets those who want companionship without the hassles of a pet.

Elephant Robotics metaAnimal robots targets those who want companionship without the hassles of a pet. This is great for the elderly and, potentially, anyone who wants to joy of companionship without the hassles of a pet.
