Via Partick Appel in for Andrew Sullivan, Scott Adams of Dilbert fame roasts our dependence on iPhones, Blackberrys, Droids, and mobile technology today in general.
Adams mentions a video from the TED conference from this past summer, which I'm pretty sure is this one which was a "Video of the Day" a few months ago.
As cool at I thought this prototype was six months ago (and still do), one always needs to remember that technology itself isn't scary but what people do with it that defines it. I make fun of "our machine overlords" frequently on this blog, but until someone can replicate human free will and choice and reason in a robot it really is a question of ethics rather than the question of "can we?"
I'll have to write another post about this sometime soon, because I think it deserves more exploration than the few words I've said here.
Until then, Mr. Anderson...
