What a wonderful innovative tool with great potential. As I was watching the demo an ironic thought leaped into my head. As a counselor educator from the U.S., I already noticed some cultural differences between Milo and our kids in the U.S. For training purposes, as the development continues for this program, I urge the developers to plan on keeping Milo culturally centered so as to maintain his unique worldview and not become so "worldly" that he looses his sense of cultural identity. Hopefully, our counseling community can have many culturally different "Milos" to work with so that we, as counselors, can deepen our expertise with "real" clients. Harvey Hoyo, Ed.D.
