The future comes traipsing

Filed under: sci-fi, the future, outside world — Brendan @ 12:46 am


You remember how robots used to be terrifying, powerful automatons that could do everything we couldn’t and kept coming back in time to kill some whiny kid we all wished was dead after a few minutes anyway? Then, at some point in the 90’s they got friendly, and we got things like Asimo, and Ai-bo, and even when they were trying to kill us, it looked like Steve Jobs had designed them specifically to be really bad at killing people. Well, it’s time to be afraid of robots again. Really afraid.

That said, if one of these fuckers could run at a decent clip and it didn’t sound like someone trying to cut through a mobile home with a chainsaw, I would totally ride it. I would ride it, while wearing an unlikely hat.
