On the topic of fax machines, I heard a piece on the radio recently that their continued use by doctors is becoming an issue. But change is hard because they offer some level of security, and all the equivalents aren't as universally accepted.

There's a few doctors that are essentially shifting to a modified printer/scanner combo that functions basically the same, but stores backup copies as files.
Is it cold in here?:

In this case there'd be a bit more precision in "don't be creepy".

I (currently) work in the IT Dept for a Healthcare company. Faxes aren't always all that secure. In fact, if our Sysadmins are to be believed, they're actually a pretty decent security risk, as that's another connection/line that needs security and monitoring. Larger companies have even more issues.
Our department hates faxes with a passion, that much I can tell you. The Doctors don't switch primarily because 1) other companies still use them and 2) in my personal experience, doctors are extremely resistent to change, especially when they're the stockholders like in our company.
But, to be on topic, Sam's behavior isn't really all that unusual for someone at 14. Undesired, perhaps. A little on the extreme side, certainly, at least sometimes. But I still remember what my friends (and enemies) in middle and high school were like. It wasn't all that off from how Sam generally acts.
I'm more worried about Punchbot. He didn't just lose his arm; a good chunk of his side was completely torn off, the inside exposed. There's so many ways being prone to this sort of thing could be a problem, even for an AI/Robot.

It happened to me too when I mentioned that I knew how to spot and handle snapping turtles to my cousin's kids.

Hells, I'm surprised that I even survived my teenage years. Sam *does* remind me of people I know with pretty serious ADHD, and in real life, is one of those sorts of people I could probably handle in small doses, lest I go mad.
