gone completely and society carrys on fine anyway.

Blade Runner is not on the list of jobs.

Only because some fool journo wrote it.

Hi Adam

There seems to be a scare mongering element to the way this is
being delivered to the masses.
There's already enough negativity concerning job security with the
likelihood of many jobs being taken by interlopers.

The possible benefits and advantages to employees were glossed
over to a large extent in tonight's Panorama.

According to your link, my job (draughtsman) is too close to call
but you seem OK!

It's a typical drivel article from the Beeb.
They don't know the difference between automation and robots.

"Robots" are along way off and will never be cheaper than a human. So just playthings.
The only exception is in warfare, where you send robots into dangerous places.
These are not android robots either but stuff like drones with some form of artificial intelligence. ie autonomous.

Automation is with us now and I imagine will get more sophisticated all the time.
It is the reason why stuff is so cheap.

Relax Rod, your function is safe. They will never produce a robot that is
completely of no use.

Kurwa ...

I often watch the TV programme "How its Made". Robots and automation often
feature yet the unskilled bit of packing or moving stuff is often delegated
to humans!

On the BBC1 news last night, they showed a robot doing the packing. Or
rather it was shakily putting bits of polystyrene into a cardboard box.

Of course, that's packing to the average journo.

I looked at a property being redeveloped in Berlin. The Germans and the
Poles spoke English to each other, as the Poles apparently did not speak
German at all well but everybody knew some English.

I recently had a poorly packed delivery from Screwfix, metal post
supports loose in a large box such that the box had holes punched in it.
While it was complete and the contents were undamaged I did contact
Screwfix to advise of the problem. They said that the entire operation
at the distribution point was automated and that no person was involved
in either selection or packing. In some respects I was quite impressed
but not all!

Perhaps that explains the quality of packing at CPC.

Or perhaps they really do use poorly trained monkeys.

I'd heard the right place to holiday in Spain was "where the Germans go"
(because the Brits are not there).

Certainly in Latvia in 1997, the place was good - notably due to the
absence of British.

However, I was in Estonia and the scots turned up en-masse wearing
kilts. So I went the other way...

And, with a new technology, packaging is about to change too.

Mushrooms are now grown in moulds to form a good firm replacement for
Styrofoam. If grown in the packet that contains the product to be
shipped, then moulds will not be needed.

Consequences? Food for you or, the garden.

The place we went to in Corfu was a "peaceful little fishing something or

For the first five days is was. This is what we wanted, not a Blackpool.
Then, the pikey Brits arrived and ****ed the place up.
I've still got memories of a council estate bitch flashing her tiny tits and
her boyfriend asking the HUGE owner of the bar for a fight.
Makes one proud to be British.

During the 80's I remember a suit being made that could stimulate many
parts of the body. The producer also provided programmed headsets so the
wearer could make a choice of partners to experience.

Having just done a single search, I saw nothing advanced but, I would
not doubt a future where a user will wear such a thing and will sit,
apparently comatose, drip fed while completely oblivious to their real
environment.

More still, would mankind develop such a system with the use of clones?

From conscience to fingers, fingers to keyboard, keyboard to
software. That reads as old fashioned as I type it.


...and anyway, I think I saw this on Star Trek so, it must be true.

That's true getting closer with thing like bigdog.

Nah to unreliable, better to use IOS. ;-)

That's true everywhere. From holidays to business meetings.
English is the international languge.
The frogs don't like this.
But we are very fortunate.
Meanwhile idiots in Wales learn Welsh at school (as a foreign language).

It's the cause of all these migrants wanting to come here. The speak English.

I am sure that is is because England had just beaten Germany 5-1 a few days
earlier that I was stopped by the German customs as I passed from the Czech
Republic into Germany and had my car emptied.

In those days there were very few UK cars in the Czech Republic.

I wonder if women robots will be able to park a car? It's all very good
having one for sex and cleaning etc, but you don't want it scraping the car
down the gatepost on it's way back from doing the shopping do you?.
