It plays on many levels, for example, how technology is a child of human parents. Why do we feel sad when we lose our tools. Are we not mourning the loss of our own capabilities?

Also, there is something here about how we make emotional responses to some (not all) types of inanimate objects. To robots or other things which we imbue with human qualities, but not, for example, to paperclips.
