Frankly, I don't like how people drive in two dimensions, much less three, but I'm all for using robots. The fact is, that civilisation requires slaves. The Greeks were quite right there. Unless there are slaves to do the ugly, horrible, uninteresting work, culture and contemplation become almost impossible. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralizing. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends.

Just what the heck is this?  And what will happen if something goes really wrong?  |

Bender: You humans think that robots are just machines made to make people's lives easier. Fry: Well, aren't they? Bender: I've never made anyone's life easier and you know it!

Bender: I've never made anyone's life easier and you know it! That's pretty funny considering your choice of avatar this week  |

Bender: I've never made anyone's life easier and you know it! Futurama! Now that's quite a good indication of what technology will be like! What do these BBC blokes know? They're not even releasing their player for Linux! Plus, it's damn funnier than BBC news. Anyone noticed how grim the news are these days?... (is the world getting worse or was I oblivious before?) |
