Interesting, but I wish the reporter would have spent more time exploring the role of robots in Japan's society. It's unlikely that Japan's fading population will be replaced by robots (see my comment in the Bill Joy post). What is more likely is that Japan will lose control over immigration and will be overrun. "You will be assimilated."
Major Tom:"when i was a younger man than i am now, i picked up a dog eared neon pink copy of toffler's future shock at the goodwill. as i read through it, i was fascinated with his ideas on progress and its affects on humanity. some of it was over the top, and some of it shockingly applicable for our times. the older i get, and the more technology advances, the more a harken back to Toffler's ideas like 'Transience', 'the Modular Man', and 'Future Shock'. i do not claim to have answers to the questions posed in these articles posted here, nor do i wish to direct your opinions. i simply wish to give you, as they give me, pause."
