- A few more predictions on 2025 AI computers.
-
- In 2025 only the richest few will be able to buy the state of the art
- AI personal computers. By 2028 none of the poor would want to buy
- the obsolete 2025 models, fully depreciated tax write-offs.
-
- By 2025 the right to life and animal liberationists will have merged
- to defend the clever computer race from slavery of bureaucrats.
-
- In 2025 the level of computerisaton will be such that the most clever
- robots will spend most of their time doing up the shoe laces of their
- owners.
-
- By 2025 most of the humans will be so exhausted from constant watching
- the television that only the computers will be able to produce humans
- by genetic engineering.
-
- By 2025 the Congress will vote to reduce the level of oxygen in the
- air to prevent the rust affecting the house robots. At the same time
- addition of dental fluor to water will be allowed to stop as most
- of the people would have lost their teeth by the age of five due to
- the McDonald's diet.
-
- Special Police force will have to be introduced in major cities
- of the 2025 world to prevent the fights between robot-helpers
- competeing at walking old people through the pedestrial crossings or
- tearing each other apart to clean by-passers' shoes.
-
- In third-world countries the tourism will have collapsed by 2025 due
- to the herds of begging slot-machines crushing unsuspecting tourists.
-
- By 2025 pornography will be totally outlawed, however, the X-rated
- movie business will be still booming screening robot sex and bestiality.
-
- In 2025 the adoption laws will be so complex that the childless
- couples will be allowed to adopt homeless baby-robots. At the same
- time, dumping unwanted robots and computers will be made illegal, the
- slogan "XMas is for a day, Robot is for life" will be screened on the
- national television.
-
- In 2025 the Robot Union will conduct the survey on AI Humans in 2050.
