It’s the end of civilization

That's it. Pack in the bags. Humanity is done for. No more children will ever be born.

Why am I suddenly so pessimistic about the future of mankind? Because after decades of adorable but technologically lame robots, scientists have finally invented an android – a robot that looks and feels human.

The bad news is it’s much worse than any Terminator-inspired war machine. A war fought with weapons we could win. But no, this is a sexy robot.

Clearly, humanity is doomed...




If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.
- Orson Welles

So in your face, girlfriends! We don't need to impress you anymore. I'll buy a Repliee Q1 and never leave my apartment again!

Leave it to the geeks to destroy the world
Japanese scientists at Osaka University have unveiled the most human-looking robot yet devised - a "female" android called Repliee Q1. Geeks of the world are ecstatic, but the robots will have the last laugh.

Now where are these flying cars they've been promising us?
