Robots are touted as the harbringers of a utopian society. No longer will we need to rise to obtain delicious beer! Finding studs will be a thing of the past! Parking? Hah!

This is interesting, because even robots that perform such incredibly simple tasks are mind-numbingly expensive, in terms of both time and money. They are more unreliable than even the most unintelligent human. And truly, do they make anyone happier? Will my ability to remain on the couch for longer continuous periods of time bring me some inexplicable joy, some nirvana that I had not yet been able to attain? Meanwhile, the worldwide population continues to rise at a dizzying pace, and all these humans are left with nothing to contribute to the world.

Thanks, robots!
