==Chatbot Terminal==

I think it would be very valuable for children to have a terminal emulator that they could have a conversation with, but also one that can teach some useful linux commands. 
 +
 +
Some examples:
 +
$Hello
 +
#Hi, how are you
 +
$what is the weather like?
 +
#inside a computer it can be as hot as 150 degrees, but it's only a mild 110 degrees today.  How about where you are?
 +
$how do I find a file on my computer?
 +
#well, there is a command called 'find' which you can use to find a file by name.  try find / test.txt
 +
 +
etc.
 +
 +
The challenge that I face is that the terminal is intimidating in comparison to IOS.  I think a specialized conversation bot could do wonders for making children more comfortable in the CLI
