Watched a very good show on robotics last night on DirectTV, but sorry, can’t recall the title cuz I came in late. Anyway, it showed a FoxConn plant in China with ten thousand people lining up for jobs. The workers were all lamenting how robots were taking all their jobs and that even chefs would give up their jobs to robots.

It then shifted to self-driving cars & the Uber fatal crash.

It then had a pervy Chinese guy who virtually lives at his factory with his “girlfriend” robot who “makes all kinds of noises.” Ugh.

Perversions aside, robotics are a bit of a game changer. I can design a small part on my computer and print it out on my $200 3D Printer, which is just a small robot.

It is a very versatile tool with a long list of useful items that I have designed and printed. And any item I want another of, I can print again whenever I feel like it, for very little cost.
