Even though I'm getting pretty old, it will be interesting to see how they handle a story that takes place so much in the mind.
Child's play. No really. The age old instrument is to tell the story through the eyes of an innocent. In this manner you can narrate the cerebral stage. The trick is to talk to the audience like a toddler, but make them think they are being reasoned with by an idiot.
Foundation was one of my very favorite scifi stories growing up. Come to think of it, they will probably have to update the tone for our gender-equal times. Actually, they will make the lead characters women,and the story multicultural and alien friendly. I predict a Political Correctness lecture will result and so an abject failure.
Can you imagine if Google could index every legal journal so that lawyers could quickly search case history? That would double the number of lawyers able to practice law instead of bieng [sic] research assistants.
Westlaw and LexisNexis already are this Google for law of which you speak. For a couple decades now. Your prediction is not true so says history.
You have to try another analogy to make your point. I suggest something automotive in nature as this _is_ slashdot.:)
Considering that 3000 people per day die worldwide in HDC accidents, any delay in the adoption of SDCs is unconscionable.
Self driving vehicles are such a first world problem. The vast majority of the world where those deaths occur feature unnavigable "roads" for a self driving vehicle. I would far sooner trust a llama to get me up a Chilean mountain road, if only because the llama has a stake in the outcome.

Yea, how the heck does she get a pass for being a stalker? WTH!
Very true, but still illegal in the US as discrimination against a protected class.
Are we all just going to ignore the admission of owning a lava lamp? ;)
Mod up! Oh, to be without points.

I got nuttin. Except a suspicion you nailed it.
Zuckerburg too obvious?
Do the watchtowers and barbed wire face inward, or outward?
Dang, just ran out of mod points. This rates a rare AC mod, IMO.
Have worked with Microsoft technologies for 12 years, including .NET.
Sooo, if I gamble online and the server is in Elbonia, I'm not breaking any US laws? 'Cuz the U.S. government does not agree.
Only point being, international jurisdiction is about as grey as gray can be, no matter how you spell it.
Mod parent up. And give him/her a mint, too.
Good point. People must be cuffed to a segway type device to eliminate walking.
Congratulations! You just realized that you are the product of healthcare, not the customer.
The actual customer can get a detailed cost of any particular DRG/CPT code....because it's in their contract.
You're such a good poster. Yes you are. That's a good slashdotter.
You were begging for this reply. ;)
...that slashdot is not alone in that phenomena.
Alaska. Maybe not a 'country', but it is a sovereign entity.
You mean this won't just give humans more time to do the important Wall Street banker things, like snorting coke off of hookers?!
To be fair, great inroads have already been made to automate the hookers. I'll leave the reader to find their own link. ;)

Whoosh! Unless you were replying to higher in the thread.
Clearly you do not work for Equifax.
Arya hirin?
I find your scenario to be much more the real experience and the parent to be the hypothetical.
There are no lawyers without law degrees.
Not to deflect your point in any way, but had to correct a bit of misinformation.
You can pass the patent bar and practice patent law in front of the USPTO without a JD

Hot Wheels work best on little orange tracks.
When all cars are automated, all crashes will be 100% computer error.
Seems like people still have the statistical edge.
What is it Samuel Clemens never said about statistics?
Yes, I read the article.
And me without mod points. Kudos!
