Title: automatization
Post by alien2 on May 4^th, 2017, 5:18am

Machines do all do work for us while we just sit on an armchair. What are we going to do?!

This is, pretty much, the intended answer. Well done. Well done? Oh well.

I myself will continue sitting and watch TV.

I wonder if when technology has advanced enough, TV will just watch itself, and we have nothing left to do at all.

That's called a video recorder.

Nah, watching implies a measure of attention and understanding. A video recorder doesn't even distinguish signal from noise, it'll just as happily record static as a movie.

Unless TV has a built-in integrated video recorder because it want's to watch its favorite movies later. Hooray!

I bet a part of the TV audience fits that description.

Do you mean to tell me you never record video?
I thought aliens were all about the data collection.

I did record A Few Good Aliens starring Tom Alienuise, Jack Alienholson and Demi Ufoore. So what? Big deal. All You have recorded is UFO's which happen to be nothing but plates or saucers hurled by your better half like a Frisbee. I know all about it.

And Alienovenant?

Alienardo DiCaprio is not my favorite actor. He can act though.
