He'll be cool to see, but currently I;m in love with a GIANT robot.

There is a new ad movie out from Honda for the newest "prototype" Asimo that runs. here is the link. Scroll down past the ad for I-Pod and you will see the link for the movie and below those links are links to 2 new posters. The movie screen takes awhile to load so be patient. You will get a blank white screen for a few seconds then the intro will load then click on the animated click here and the movie will load, which takes more time. But it is a cute ad and worth the wait.

When he gets up is when we need to worry.

Plus he can just kill you in your sleep. Since, of course, robots don't need to sleep. That's the part I don't like.

And say you go to turn him off at night. What if he just pretends to be off and causes havok while you're sleeping.

It's going to happen. I know it.

Yeah, just like a little robot version of Chuckie.

Heehee! I have to admit, I kept imagining cute little ASIMO weilding futuristic laser weaponry. The more they talk about how these robots will help people, the more I giggle. I kept cycling through Terminator-Robocop-iRobot-Matrix-Itchy & Scratchy Land, and back again.

Even with the giggles, I really do trust robots and have no fear of them. Sci-Fi has given them a bad rep. When I see perfect mimicry of human movements, I'm not creeped out, I'm in awe of the amount of work the engineers put into it. I'm also prone to grin, shake my head, and say "Wow".

My Grandfather's age brought us Transportation/Automation
My Dad's age brought us TV and Electronics
My age brought us Computers and the Internet

Next up for you younglings, Robots.

Let me get my order in early so you can get to work.

1. Soapy: Soapy will be able to roam my house to locate any dirty dishes. He will then bring them back to the kitchen, wash them and put them away.

2. Tidy: Same thing with cloths. The tricky part will be getting him to match the socks. Come to think if it, this one better be a 'she' or the cloths will not get sorted by color, delicacy, thread count, and whatever other mysterious methods you fem's use.

3. Rover: Rover will keep an inventory of the house. Lost your keys or a party invitation that came weeks ago? Rover will know where it is an bring it to you. He will go from room to room (when they are not in use) and memorize every object so that he can find it for you later.

That's all for right now, so get cracking.
