The internet is often seen as a way for one to connect with acquaintances around the world, through virtual communication. With this in mind, the average distance between two connected people is now further than ever. How is one supposed to reintroduce authenticity to the digitized correspondences of the modern era? Here, the notion of a live connection, a digitized interaction that responds in real time, becomes highly appealing. The prospect of observing and communicating with a live human being has an air of authenticity and validity to it, despite being as digitized as ever. The creation of an experiential partner which reacts quickly to a wide array of inputs, maintaining conversations “just like the real thing” has become an obsession of computer scientists and psychologists alike.
