How do you see technology in the future?

Technology has played a big part in our lives, from helping us with work to improving gadgets to the later and better quality. Robots have also been part of the technology industry, helping out with various jobs.

I think they should tax all technologies standing in water!

I believe that technology in the future will be a thing that happens involving a group of people and the technology used by those people and it will be in the future.

I would like to have a robot as an abusive exercise partner. I imagine him to be the Lost In Space robot. And when I started slacking off, he would pinch my middle with those big pinchy metal hands. It would hurt a little. And then he would say something horrible about my appearance.

Later, I would try to rationalize that he is just a robot, programmed to say these things, and I shouldn't feel bad about myself.

If you don't see technology in the future you can see it in the pasture:

You don't say? Hmmm, food for thought.

Weird, I was just thinking today about how on a Lost in Space episode there was a robot that LOOKED like Robot but he was evil and they said he was a robotoid.

I need an abusive exercise robot and a compassionate GPS (don't worry Shaw, you just made a bad turn, it doesn't mean you're a bad person. You'll get there, it just takes you a little longer than most.)

"Hey, that was one smooth turn! Awesome work. You just glided like you were floating on air. Do another one for me, just like that, but on the other side. That would be great."

See, you wouldn't even realize that you'd made a wrong turn. That's the kind of GPS you want.

I'd be extremely suspicious of the GPS' motives, groveling like that. Like it was just trying to get into my pants or something. Or I'd get all defensive: don't condescend to ME you mudderplucker, I know it wasn't that great a turn. Stop looking at me like I'm stupid.

Might not be the worst thing. It would be able to find your G spot.

I'm thinking there must be a post deep in the darkest corners of the cellar that sets the alarms off when someone googles "homework help"....

Maybe if we all mention homework help or help with my homework or come here for help with your homework papers, then we'll have some real fun.

Or maybe we've been subtly marked in some way. Like when the papers were full of the signs criminals were marking on doors which meant "Dog here, keep away" or "Great pickings" or "Single female". Because the hype all turned out to be true of course.
