Robots taking Over the Universe

LAY OFF THE DRUGS.

[we think of them as (just) a (weird) shortcut. clearly: not for everyone. however, if you need to take yourself out of This World just to check on things sometimes: it is exactly for you. sometimes we need to LAY OFF THE REALITY.]

besides, you've totally missed the point.

That was way rude, mister! You apologize!

Cute chick.

Globalization being sped up by technology... triggering fanaticism?

PS. Many of the things you are mentioning aren't "robots" per se, druggy.

it's more globalization and serious interconnectedness leaves no room for individual development of very different mindsets, ideas, culture, beliefs. . . & the real fact that we spend Too Much Time with objects and digital media.

as for the robots, it's a metaphorical categorization.

p.s. 'druggy'? a little high school, a lot of nonsensical overgeneralization.

& think: pauite indians, anasazi, the basketweavers, maybe.

Less talk, more acid-fueled smooching.

at least, we'll try harder in the future.

Your post seems a little overwhelmed and disjointed... written like someone suffering from information technology overload!! I think at this point our whole culture (at least the West) is definitely suffering from this...

but I think you have to look at the positive aspects of having this much communication all the time. The culture will certainly begin to evolve differently and instead of the world seeming smaller, it will start to seem that much BIGGER as small communities evolve across geographical boundaries.

In a way, it will be easier for people to communicate and react to the sea of mindless consumerism being shoved down their throats. But just like any other form of communication there will be people who will just use it to try to get laid (unsuccessfully usually) and completely whore themselves out without any taste or class. Damn humans.

This image means something very important.

as does this one

can you figure it all out?

with this: "it's more globalization and serious interconnectedness leaves no room for individual development of very different mindsets, ideas, culture, beliefs"

i think technology which connects us, allows us to our share ideas and opinions with a wider audience.

see, normally i would probably only have one arguement in any given day. the internet gives me the option to have hundreds of arguements (see *sharing ideas*), in any day. at 5am in the morning, should i choose to do so.

also, your remote control isn't a 'robot' - it's a handy controller for your TV, which is also not a robot. neither is your car, nor your microwave. :-)

i suppose i'm not against the sharing of ideas. and i do love wikipedia to serious extents. STILL

i see them as robots, creeping in and picking up our little jobs and bigger jobs and making it so we have endless amounts of time to do 'work'. the microwave disconnects me from the whole food process. the remote disconnects me from the television[robot] and suddenly it's inconcievable: to entertain oneself, i suppose. i mean, obviously it makes it easier to share things. but it's a different kind of community, and mostpeople don't do it like these punkplanet people do. [myspace deltachi zombiekids with their platinum hair and turnedupcollars: emailaddicts, blackberrylikedevice mongerers, i-send-emails-to-my-boss-in-the-subway] i feel that we can't let go of things. such as: what happens when i leave my cellphone at home?
