So Al Gore is Running in '08 ?????

[Reaganesque]

I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords...

"every area of human life, from space explorers to gardeners and lovers"

ok, I might could handle a robot gardener, but a robot lover? Get real! That's just plain silly.

For when the metal ones come for you.

And they will.

I thought this was an interesting discussion piece, but I suggest the author might be a wee bit alarmist. ;-)

Styx - Mr. Roboto Lyrics
(Dennis DeYoung)
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai

You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control

I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you

The problem's plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.

The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see
My true identity...
I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

[Bosco]

I thought we were supposed to get MonkeyButlers...

Are they crossing the border too?

The Cylons were created by man.

They were the product of a desire to make life easier on Kobol. At first, they were simple robots. Toys. Conversation pieces at parties for the rich and trendy.

The Cylons became more advanced. Began to work the mines. Do the hard and dangerous work Man no longer wished to do.

And when the poeple of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol decide to war against each other, the Cylons began to do their fighting and killing for them too. The Cylons were the greatest soldiers the planet had ever seen. Smart. Fast. Deadly. They made decisions without waiting for orders.

And then the day came when the Cylons decided to kill their masters.

Oh wait...wrong planet can't possibly happen here.

"..robots occupying every area of human life, from space explorers to gardeners and lovers, scientists said today."

Didn't Walter Cronkite promise that something like this would already be here by now back when he hosted, "The 21st Century"?

I'm still waiting for my flying car too.

[Screamname]

It will never happen, because like that Saturday night live skit says, robots will kill our elderly and take their prescription medication.

[Hydroshock]

BY YOUR COMMAND!!!!!

[Old Professer]

I can just hear it now, a clamorous voice in the future expressed by a severely overworked domestic sex slave screaming in the night, "I didn't ask to be invented!!!"

[Little Ray]

Robotic lovers. Hmmm.
If he can make good coffee, take out the trash, and pick up and watch the kids, then I'm gonna be out of a job. I think husbands are going to need a union...

[100-Fold_Return]

Public must prepare for 'robot revolution'?

Watch the shills on CNN, PMSNBC, FOX, ABC etc parrot their daily marching order to get an idea.
