Walking Tall

As I contemplate my impending dotage (which should be along any moment now), the idea of a tech-heavy walker is a highly disturbing prospect:
It’s got GPS and sensors onboard that help guide the user around the house. It will attempt to avoid stairs and other obstacles in order to give the user a more comfortable, carefree walk. It also makes you look like a cyborg, which is probably the only reason why you would want to try it out, anyway.
The sheer number of ways it can malfunction, and the resulting carnage, is truly daunting.
