Yeah, whatever did happen to my personal robot?

The idea for this post has been shamelessly stolen from the BBC.  I'm sure Tomorrow's World was predicting we'd all have our own personal house robot slaves by now.

Personally I can't imagine a robot like this being developed for the domestic market. It'd just cost way too much money for something that's probably cheaper to employ a human to do anyway. If we do ever get useful human robots I can't see it coming out of anything other than military research or from the development of a Japanese sex robot. 

A friend of mine (yes, I know you won't believe it's not me) wants a Cameron (from Sarah Connor Chronicles). I'm not sure for which purpose he wants it. Probably to do the hoovering.

I should probably get a robot to do my blog posting for me.

State of the Robot

In case you didn't notice, I love robots. I love the very concept of robots. I love vacuuming robots. I love car building robots. I even love the stupid robot that came with the original nintendo. Gyroscope or something like that. How the fuck am I supposed to remember? That was 20 years and a whole lot of beer ago. Anyway, how could you not love robots? Servents who don't care about being servants and will do whatever they're programmed to do, sounds like heaven and/or the porno I watched last night.

According to this article I'll have the chance to make that love physical soon, or about 400 years. Depending on who you believe. Clearly, anyone who knows anything about mankind (as I do as one of the base members of the group) already knew that Sexbots were always the logical conclusion to this research path. Let's try and work on that 400 timeframe though, robot nerds. You dorks need Sexbots more than the rest of society and I don't think you want to wait 400 years to get some.

Also of note, this article isn't just about banging robots, that's just the part that got my attention. It also gives quick rundown on the state of robotics in the world like cooking robots, nipple-ous robots, and good old robot dogs. Hmmm, nipples, cooking, and bitches...sounds like women are about to be replaced.
