Ladies & Gentleman,

I hereby declare,
from the suburban fringe of the Galaxy
that by the time we come into contact with 'Alien' species be they intelligent or not from outside our world.
We will have created from within the womb of a mankind's mind,
our replacement - the Android.

Even now ...Asimov's DANEEL finally appeared in the recent Alien movie Prometheus and steals the show.
DANEEL & GISKARD have already appeared in basic form as C3PO & R2D2 as borrowed by George Lucas.

The Age of Robots has begun.

We shall spread out into the stars and come to know the death that follows us from within.
Android.

:there, I said it.

Gee gollipers!

What to do now Batman?

There already exists some pretty impressive robots that look human. The problem so far is the software. I saw a thing on TV a while back about these robots. Apparently they kinda freak ppl out cause they are too human.

Pretty sure this is the guy the show was about.

SOB

In Nippon (Japan for the Imperial Americans),
such life-like Robots have been ordered
to be sexy young girls.
That's right, why have a blow-up doll when you can get a buzz from an Android.
One of the Replicants in BladeRunner was a 'Pleasure Android'.

...I expect the Nipponese population to drop once these 'pleasure' robots become more popular.

And while we are at it - I think we should all attend to our computers and keep pumping in everything we can into the Androidal 'brain' mind, etc.
If they 'believe' - they exist.
No different to a man believeing he will go to Paradise after his death for Mohommed and have 50 virgins, etc.

DANEEL is here.

Hmmm? It appears to me also that the people who work in IT have the same autistic look about them as does someone who just sits in front of a TV all day and stares.

Its amazing watching people who are sooo dependent upon technology, to the point that they may not be able to live without it. Now thats another form of - primative???
