Has Tokyo Saint taken Erica? If not her.

Is that Erica Roebot?

She’s not Toke’s type. Not enough legs.

That’s pretty interesting - thanks for alerting us to it. It highlights that all manual activities (or activities involving manual procedure) can ultimately be automated. The same applies to all repetitive tasks. The results? Cost savings and highly consistent production.

I am no burger aficionado but aren’t they terribly thin?

I am aiting for the robots to do my job. Please can they hurry up and do it.

Is this getting close?

getting there.

Coincidentally, I was having a conversation with my son the other day about how, when I’m in a care home, I’ll be totally IT and social media savvy. My generation will be among the first for whom this is the case. The idea of having a robot to carry out routine tasks isn’t really frightening but, actually, perfectly acceptable. The idea of keeping in touch with people via skype and facebook is totally normal.

I wonder, will this make us more or less isolated in our dotage.

I enjoyed the animatrix more than the sequels, I’m surprised that concept never really caught on. Bladerunner 2049 has a few short films on the DVD that do something similar, documenting some important events in that timeline. Hopefully that will become more of a thing.

I’m late 40’s and i’m pretty clueless on IT and social media, to be honest. I don’t use facebook as it seems to be full of meaningless shite, posturing fools and others obsession with self promotion. However, i do use twitter and hope that sat opposite me in the care home will be Katie Hopkins so i can abuse her in person and not just online.

You know, of course, that this football forum is a kind of social media, as it whatsapp, snapchat and all that gubbins.

Why doesn’t Optimus Trousers upvote or downvote?

Is he being restrained by the powers that be.

He could be our new Manager he knows more than the one we already have.
