Robot rage

Robotics sound more like sci-fi than science. In the future robots will take over. They will do many jobs that humans do now. Well, this will create robot rage. Fact is, we are seeing some. Workers complain that factories are shutting down and moving overseas. Partly it is lower wages. However, also we see more access. Most technology products are produced in asia. Factories want to be close to parts and services.

Will robots create a better world for us. I do not think so. They will help one more layer strip away. After a while little will be left of our old ways. Sadly, they will only remain as a memory.

Humans versus Robots

Incredibly many see this as a war. Science fiction portrays a fight of machine versus man. Sadly, in many episodes the machines win. Humans are seen as inventive and scrappy. Whereas the machine are cold calculating robots that exploit weaknesses in what we are. Basically, creatures made of flesh that hate the cold and love the warm.

Robots are coming

People often wonder what is heading toward us. I predict more robots in coming years. They will do many jobs for us. However, few see the social implications they will cause. For example, we see robots in many movies. How in most movies they are usually shown as evil entities that want to take over. I prefer to see robots like in metropolis and chobits. They are what we make 'em.

Cyborgs and robots in the future

Perhaps the next growth niche in the future is "adult" robots for lonely old ugly men. These robots or shall we call them androids will serve as female companions. Time to call CarlosX future robot repairman.

Robots in the future

There is one staple of science fiction that has come true - the robot. Instead of big clanking metal mechanical monsters, CarlosX saw Robots that were quite different, they were quite blondes and the customers were lonely old men.

Perhaps we are distressed by broken robot girls, but CarlosX robot repairman claims to have fix them in the 2150's a time in the future when robots are common.

Most of the robots we see now are industrial robots that build cars. Still, in the future, robots are not manufacturing automobiles, but act as companions. Actually, 881 auto dealerships closed last year. This is a record, and this will get worse.
