+=====Artificial Dependency=====
+What:
+  * Physical dependency
+    * Needs feeding
+    * Needs transport - has wheels, but asks to be carried everywhere
+    * Needs light - not solar powered, but doesn't like the dark
+    * Gets cold - needs physical contact
+  * Emotional
+    * Paranoia - requires constant reassuring noises
+    * Anger - needs calming, physical contact
+    * Sadness - needs singing to
+  * All of the above?!
+  * It may be important that they are entirely unnecessary needs
+Why:
+  * Sounds really irritating, but - Tamagotchi
+  * Long term attachment through manipulation of the caring instinct and guilt
+  * Attachment due to the feeling that something is dependant on you, rather than a machine that just needs occasional recharging
+  * More effective/complex strategies that can be learnt over time - "give him to me, I know how to calm him down"
