Will lose face to face communication in 20 years
Thanks to technology we are becoming the most impersonal society the earth has to offer. Driverless cars will be the norm very soon, so no more face to face with the police officer that pulls you over
his laptop will have to talk to the cars onboard computer. How about the virtual doctor, no more visits to the doctor, diagnosing will be over broadband. We already have online colleges, so no more beer pong.
Robotics are growing exponentially. Today Japan introduced their robot called Pepper, the robot with EMOTIONS....hmmm! no worry about the menopause cycle here.
Pepper costs about $1,600. And like all good mobile products, there’s a $120 per month data fee, as well as an $80 per month damage insurance fee. (Feelings don’t come cheap.)
What a world we are creating, the loss of human feelings will be like the pen and paper....lost forever....

We will have to see what it holds. An emotional robot may be more pleasant than a human without emotions. Will these tobots have a nagging mode as well?
They even make robotic pets...lol...
I will never get used to e-reading...like the smell and feel of paperbacks too much...not to mention better for your eyes...screens can be too harsh...
Wait.. that shows that I am not a robot!
Robot husbands and wives are also in our future. Fewer fights, and maybe, if the robots are clever enough, fewer people too.
I better go now.. Bye Sands and Ken. Hope you enjoy your moment while you're still not refunded yet!
It's trying to become a complete computer world. One day!
Just Watch!...
I'm A Robot!
And I'm from a farm on the left side of the planet earth.
How uncool is that?!...
I Know! Right?....
What will people say to each other:
my sense is that while impersonalization continues to intensify, the many systemic structures that contribute and have contributed to its creation are imperceptibly yet radically shifting such that we will be forced to create something new. god knows we need a little of that.
ty for your blog
I don't think that it will replace for most people human contact. We are "herd animals" and I think that most people do need interactions with others. I know it is not something I would want to miss.
But, possible that science and production will get that far in future. Then I am wondering: will there be human rights and robot's rights? Will the robots ever be able to demand their own rights? Sounds apocalyptic to me..
