I was going to call it The Zombie apocalypse just got smaller.
In itself it does not show much ..but it also opens a vast amount of doors to those pesky robots ..and I would also add ..closes many other when building at that scale would accrue massive benefits that are probably well know but just not cost effective.

I have another one for you.

This is a commercial 3d house printing company ..

The world really might be a radically different place before we know it .

seeing as I am the only one left posting on this thread ...
...I will have to assume everyone else has been replaced by robot zombies.

I will keep the updates going until they get to me

Google cars are doing well
700,000 miles of driving ..And those stats look like it will be getting noticed by insurance companies.

Seems to be saying a lot of what you said.

I haven't read it but it's on the list.

I do find this whole robot thing fascinating. I get that the luddites were wrong but I wonder what people work as if we don't need things like nurses and shop assistants.

More and more people are recognising just how close we are to humans being comprehensively out evolved.

I believe the idea is that we all serve each other fancy coffee; provide fancy massages to each other etc.

The alternative is British Leyland style robots which will need an army of humans to look after them when they break down.
