Making your life better by the second.
Blade Runner: The Final Cut is coming to the Harris Theatre downtown the weekend of March 7th thru the 13th. I will be there to experience the glory of one of the best sci-fi films ever. Granted I bought the limited edition suitcase with the final cut of Blade Runner inside.. but seeing it on the big screen is a must. Be there or be square nerds.
In a recent article on MSNBC, I learned that scientists predict that humans will be marrying and sexing robots by the year 2050, which is right around the corner.
Robots will soon become more human in appearance, along with more advancements to make them act and think like a person. With one exception. You can program a robot to love you.
The second I read about this, I thought about one of my favorite shows, Futurama. In a certain episode the main character gets a robot clone of a famous celebrity, and instead of living his life, he just sits around all day making out with it. Eventually he learns why this is such a bad idea. Everything mankind has ever done.. every invention, theory, sport has all been done w/ the intentions of impressing a girl and getting laid.
If there is no longer a reason to impress the opposite sex, why bother doing anything? Why work out or get a job when you can work at NeoMcDonalds (that’s what I call McDonalds in the future) then come home and get it on with your Jessica Al-bot 5000?
And didn’t anyone ever see I-Robot? What if these things get tired of fat sweaty ugly guys on top of them all day and they revolt? Humans can’t beat robots. They’re made of metal… hard, sharp, pointy metal.What are we going to do then?
They should just invent a way for people to look better without trying, or invent a pill to make girls I like lower their standards.
