But what I really need is a droid that understands the binary language of moisture evaporators.
That British “barley” crop sure looks peculiar. Must be the British variant.
How many people does it take to service and operate the robotic farm equipment?
I sort of expect a part of the future population to be put on land, with robots and whatnot and then be told: “You have 3 acres. This is your land. You can support yourself. There is no real danger of starvation. Stay here and live. If you wander off the land and bother people, you may be shot as a vagrant.”
It might be a combination of farming community and open air prison for the masses.
I fear that the alternative will be warehousing people in large urban structures and just sending them a check every month (so to speak). We seem to be reaching the point where we no longer need (or expect) a great many people to contribute to society. So what do we do? Little farming robots may be part of the answer.
As the former president would put it, this isn’t something to get all weed-weed up about
This sort of technology would be far advanced but for cheap exploited farm labor. Whether that is good or bad, depends on your point of view. I suppose if conservatives are for robotic field hands, dims will be holier than thou while pushing for more exploration of actual human beings.
One more reason to keep Mexican illegals OUT of our country... we can pick our own damn crops.
Before long they’ll have robot made crop circles.
#1 It is kinda short for a Robodroid
