hairy Posted 20 June 2008 Posted 20 June 2008 Romantic human-robot relationships are no longer the stuff of science fiction -- researchers expect them to become reality within four decades. And they do not mean simply, mechanical sex. New Scientist Have you beat them to it by 40 years?
Trav Le Bleu Posted 20 June 2008 Posted 20 June 2008 When I see quotes like that Hairy I usually try to recall what scientists 40 years ago expected. Invariably they are over optomistic on some fronts (flying cars for all!!!) and missing the bus on others (but still using 8-track recorders) I always find it funny watching future computers in 70s and 80s films - little more than a few decades later they seem dated.

Guest Posted 20 June 2008 Posted 20 June 2008 Now calculators. THEY are sexy. You only think that because you can write 80085 on it.
James. Posted 20 June 2008 Posted 20 June 2008 You only think that because you can write 80085 on it. One of my fondest calculator memories was realising that on a graphical calculator you could recreate in the programming function the "Memory Cleared" screen that you had to show to the invigilator before going to into the A Level Maths exam. Ahh, those were the days.
