Reminds me of the people that bought betamaxes in the 80's. I am holding off on DVD as long as humanly possible, until I see SOFTWARE for it. There is some, not enough IMO.
Clinton and Melosovic were having a peace discussion in along with Yeltsin. There were in a neutral country. France. The men had just finished their first round. The waiter came back and said to Yeltsin, "Le Vodka?" Yeltsin said "Yes, thank you." Turned to Melosovic and said, "Le Bourbon?" Melosovic said "Yes thank you ". The waiter than asked Clinton "Le Whiskey?" Clinton said "Don't you ever mention that wench again."

OOPS!
Maybe I should have said Fantasyland.
I do remember seeing something about the working conditions at Disney on the Discovery channel.

I know about this stuff. Computers are replacing peoples jobs more and more. Tis' why I am in the field, aside from the fact I think computers are "cool" contrary to the majority beliefs. I still hear computer geek once in a while. I don't care. Until computers become "self-sufficient" they need people. I'm hoping it doesn't happen in my lifetime. Or my childrens. Or theirs.

I do not know if you have noticed.. This was not a post for myself. This was for me and many of my IT related friends. That work in different companies, with different salary ranges. They all closely resemble each other in their plight. Just my observation. Maybe you work in disneyland. If so, good fer you!

Why do we need robots. Todays society is already making us humans so. Get up in the morning, sit in traffic or be crowded on public transportation. Sit in my cubicle, staring at my monitor. Work extra hours with no OT. Get dropped or like a bad habit after all your hard work, downsized. My big corporation does not give a flying chicken about me. (Notice the politeness.) I believe the TV commercial for Monster.com sums it up best. If you haven't seen it, there are several children with one-liners like "I wanna scratch and claw my way up to middle management." " I wanna get paid less for doing the same job." " I wanna grow up to be a brown nose." So much for the astronaut I was gonna be. Most kids I knew always said that growing up.
Oh well.
If you see my posts on other subjects. I am in a bad ranting mood today. Don't try this at home.
With a 216 GB hardrive. About 4,236 MP3's. I'm thinking about 3684 hours of music!! You can start a playlist and listen for 153 straight days! MP3 has taken over sex as the #1 search in search engines. Imagine the sex that can be stored. All those pics. Let's say you store in JPEG format. Let's say at the high end, they average 200k each. (All us pervs know this is definitely high.) Over a million JPEGS! Imagine that slideshow! Man would you get hair on your palms and go blind.
I don't see any of this coming to fruition. I am not buying another computer until it's upgradeable to a non-volatile RAM hardrive, With a GHZ bus and 10 GHZ CPU. How long do you think I'll have to wait?
The old Star Wars. Even went to see the "special footage" version. Bottom line is, Star Wars was ahead of it's time in special effects. Who doesn't like a light saber? Or princess lei her? I think I'm gonna watch spaceballs again before I see Phantom Menace. The original Star Wars was corny.
If you are going to create AI machines, make sure you have a good dose of conscience, compassion, love programmed in. Hardcoded. No modifications possible. Don't flame me and say, " you watch too many movies." Terminator and Matrix. Get my idea? Some of the biggest tragedies of humankind have been brought forth by people that were apparently missing these characteristics. Machines with AI will not be grateful that we have granted them life. They would be smarter than us. AI machines cannot become aware of irritation. That irritation would be us. Look, most people are a pain. Logic. That's all they would know. They would be better than Mr Spock. "I find their illogic and foolish emotions a constant irritant." No better said Mr Spock.
