Humans To Be pwn3d By Computers Like NOW

in the year two thousaaaaandSo there's this article entitled "Design Firm Shows Gadgets from the Near Future" which is funny because "near future" inspires jokes along the lines of, "near like, now?" and "how about now?" and "OK, now?" on and on and until everyone is smiling really hard. The innovations start out being completely useless like a radio without knobs but then become radder like a "through-the-wall-radar" which is cool because Batman uses it to look in buildings to find baddies and then we are introduced to "a user interface that takes brain waves and translates them into commands for a computer." Um. NO THANK YOU. It's intended for computer users who are completely paralyzed but could also be used to think your computer into flinging itself against the spinal column of someone you hate, necessitating that person to now use one too and pretty soon everyone will need one until there's only one human left standing except that guy was paralyzed in the first place and it's over because hateration is the folly of man and computers will overthrow us like we are nothing more than their tomagotchi bitches to be strung on their cell phone antennas and be fed intermittently until they forget because they're going to lipstick blowjob parties and that's when we die.

Call me when Mexico makes a rubber nurses suit that lasts longer than 6 months.

Baby batter can stay in a womb for 9 months without disintegrating it. You don't have a single decent polymer at the factory that can do the same!?

Fucking lazy workers.

Why did you put your nurses suit in the womb? Drug trafficking across the world

"Child pornography"

Whatever the fuck that means.

I was just at a bank machine and I was wishing it had this sort of intelligence. E.g. the screen kept asking me questions like "do you want a receipt?" and I would shake my head and say "uh-uh", or "mmm, nah"... but it didn't listen! I had to waste my valuable lunch hour's time, and my dwindling flu-addled energy, to push a button!

"hateration is the folly of man"--stop quoting Horace Walpole now! Just stop!

The one thing in the "robots will overthrow us" scenarios that I don't get is motive: why would robots want to take us over? Isn't that more of a human motive than a robot motive? Wouldn't robots be satisfied increasing efficiency and playing really awesome games of robot chess?

"Wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess?"
"Later, let's play Global Thermonuclear War."

I thought we all agreed to refer to "lipstick blowjob parties" as "Flight 188s" from now on..?

I can't think of a greater personal/professional catastrophe than having my (unfiltered) brainwaves turned into computer commands. A universe of pornography, failblog, profanity-filled emails, and ill-advised tweets would unfold with electronic alacrity.

One of the greatest human freedoms is the freedom to think "I should twitter this" and then think "no, I shouldn't" before it happens.

If this technology arrives, be kind to your local homeless population. One of them is probably me.

Um, hi, have you seen the internet?

Um, hi, have we met? Eww, tweets!

That last sentence was breathtaking poetry. Thanks, MHKC, you always make my day.
