Robots are coming for our jobs. . .
« on: August 25, 2015, 08:44:35 AM »
I saw two different headlines on one of my favored tech websites:

1) ROBOTS ARE COMING FOR OUR JOBS!

2) HALARIOUS DARPA ROBOTS FALLING VIDEO!

At my age I only wish a robot wanted my job and when you get down to it I spend my life fixing things robots and automated processes didn't get right!  So if you haven't seen this robot falling down video
here it is (Adobe Flash warning):

computers will work all of the time!"

Hilarious! Good to know I can usually do some things better than a robot! Probably less humorous to the DARPA people... Thinking.gif

I'm not sure where YT hides it's settings, but some time ago I opted for HTML5 viewing. It works about 95% of the time, but sometimes tells me I don't have an HTML5 capable browser. rolleyes.gif It also usually requires a couple of extra clicks; click the "HTML5" notice, click the play button, etc.
