Oh my god, it has started. We are well into the 21st century and I’ve been waiting for my jetpack and funny robot servant in the style of Rosie The Robot for years now. Hiroshi Ishiguro has put us one step closer to my vision of the future with his robotic clone. It’s called Geminoid and it frowns when you poke it, it also breathes and its face moves on its own! It won’t be able to replace Mr. Ishiguro in the workplace yet, but I’m sure that technology is just around the corner.
Now that the android ball has finally started rolling I wonder if they’re really gonna be as great as I imagine. I’m just a little bit scared of what’s gonna happen when some Lex Luthor type evil genius gets his hands on the android and the footage of Ishiguro and Geminoid together totally creeps me out.
