Robot WTF: Amorphous Autonomous Breathing Body Pillows… for The Future?

What they tell us:

Based on EAP-technology “Funktionide” is a concept for an emotional robot that substitutes human contact. In a future where technology will play a huge part in our lifes it is very likely that some day it will shift from satisfiying our basic funtional needs to include our emotional needs as well.

And the day came when making out with Gloop or Gleep was “okay” in the eyes of the world. On this day we stopped the world and got off.

Man Builds Trash Labyrinth in Home, Gets Lost, Dies

A 74 year old man was found buried inside a labyrinth of junk of his own making. They think he got buried in rubbish and died of dehydration.

I-I think I’ve seen my future.

article-1107584-02f86bda000005dc-656_468x400-w200-h200One neighbour, who asked not to be named, said: ‘He was slightly eccentric, but very clever. He was just a collector. He came home with a load of cardboard boxes and lived in his own world.’

A second described his death as a ‘tragedy’.

Neighbours said Mr Stewart’s home had been accumulating rubbish for at least 10 years. This week, plastic bags were clearly seen piled across his front window, while outside further bags, broken furniture, computer parts and even an old TV set spilled over his front lawn.

A car dating back to the 1950s stands in the garage believed to have been left untouched for years as garbage built up around it.

I must learn from his mistakes. Study his ways. Perfect them. In my maze, There will be water stations at every corner. Cans of food and can openers will be hidden at various locations. Just to keep the mind sharp, you see. The minotaur will come later.

I have seen my future and I must be prepared.
