The Future May Be Here

 

Here’s she is Sophia the Robot!  Because of the Pandemic the makers of Sophia the Robot have planned to mass produce her.  “The world of Covid-19 is going to need more and more automation to keep people safe.”  So says David Hanson, the CEO of the company that created her.  Now the first thing that flashed through the mind of every man on the planet the second they laid eyes on her, was not addressed in the article.  So, we can’t definitively tell you.  And, we’re not going to say what that is, as men already know, woman can ask their husbands, boyfriends or closest male friend and last but not least, this is a family channel.  We don’t go into things like that here.  But it’s the first thing every guy thought of and like in a heartbeat too.  Now as a public service we’re kind of guessing that for this current model the answer would be no.  But for some future model, the answer will be yes.  Hey, the people who built this thing, want to make money.  So, women beware if sometime in the near future your husband wants to buy one of these things. 

 

Now when you turn on Sophia, she mouths platitudes, sophistry and other politically correct inanities.  We started wondering why anyone would need that.  Seeing as how the TV and the internet are overcrowded with humans doing that all day long.  But then Sophia can actually show anger and other emotions on her face.  So, once you get past the initial cost, Sophia could be mouthing platitudes, sophistry and other inanities in a very cost-effective way.  Maybe the Talking Heads of the media and The Cognoscenti of the Known World, should get nervous.  The future and specifically their future, may be here. 

 

And now for some Super Bowl 55 predictions!  The Chiefs will win as we’re guessing that the meme for this Super Bowl is the passing of the torch.  The torch of Greatest of All Time will go from the old Tom Brady to the young Patrick Mahomes.  No, we’re not like the people on YouTube who claim the NFL is fixed and scripted even.  We’re just guessing that this meme is just too precious to pass up.  Think of it.  You can have old Tom Brady the G.O.A.T. (That’s Greatest Of All Times) shaking hands with young Patrick Mahomes at the end of the game with all the confetti raining down on them.  And, images of future Super Bowl wins for the new G.O.A.T. Patrick Mahomes, like sugar plum fairies, will be dancing in the heads of all NFL fans.  You see, how the future may be here.   

 

Also go with the over, leave the point spread alone and take the over on how long it will take to sing the National Anthem. 

 

Of course, we could be wrong.  Always be wary of predictions and the people make them.  But the object here, is to have some fun and if we’re right we can laugh at this, for a long, long time.
