Sign Of The Times: From Robby to Roxxxy the Robot

A sign of the times, robotics turns its focus to conquering sexual satisfaction. Geez! Robby the Robot was American culture's concept of a robot in the fifties and sixties. A MSNBC Future of Tech article by John Roach reports on co- authors recently published paper in journal Futures, who firmly believe Robo-Sex will be the future. “'Sex robots are absolutely inevitable,'” Michelle Mars, paper co-author, who informed Roach in an email, "'In fact, they already exist.'” The authors envision an Amsterdam of 2050 able to deliver services without transmitted disease and help counter human trafficking. Robot prostitutes will deliver, by the way, "mind-blowing" sex, according to the authors. Our very intent in life seems to have slumped into the gutter? You can buy a robot sex companion, Roxxxy (picture) for $7000 to $9000, who still looks plastic but with many personalities to spike your desires! It seems to the present writer, a poor man's version of a mind-controlled sex slave? Did the authors consider whether sex so good could be more addictive?
