I'm not going to hold my breath. They've been saying this since the 1950's. I won't ever need a household robot anyway, I can't imagine why anyone would.

 

stick a computer and a voice chip in a vacume cleaner and you've got a robot so what's the big deal? nobody said the're going to be anthropomorphic though, and why in the hell would anyone in their right mind want them to be anyway.

i mean you can build robotic toys now. have been able to for most of a couple of decades or so. diversity of functionality and amount of on board intelligence is just a matter of continuous incrimenting from where we are now.

what i'm looking forward to is something about the size of a hand drill that you think at it where you want the hole and it drills one for you. or something about the configuration of a lawn tractor that will grade your driveway on its own.

the big problem is economics though. capabilities incrimenting are the easy part. the problem is with cultural values and popular priorities.

remember the concord sst? tecnological capabilities alone don't tell the tail. japan has lots of real practical working everyday monorail transportation systems. very few any other, even developed countries have more then one, in their entire country if that.

transit systems are expensive. but so are motorways, which have even more downsides, especially for the environment. so a lot depends on whether you value more real value or symbolic value, otherwise known as little green pieces of paper, which some cultures, particularly the currently most dominant one, falsely imagines to be a default condition of the universe.

but then nothing currently dominant has always been either, so there's no inevitability that it always will. rather quite the contrary is well indicated by probability and probability to a great and visible extent demonstrating itself as how the universe beyond the myopia of human society actually works.

For the rich, yes. I cant even afford a good mp3 player.

 

What is the world coming to? Household robots?! We can clean our own houses for crying out loud!

 

I think robots would be good actually, I have been waiting for a parcel from school to come for the last week and I am not able to go out because I have to sign for it or they would have to bring it back to the post office. If I had a robot I would make it get my parcels for me while I'm out.

 

What type of ammunition do you think would be most effective?
