This weekend's edition of the Sunday Times had an article in which various scientists, futurists, and ethicists discussed the coming need for ethical codes involving robots and their interactions with humans.
'Security, safety and sex are the big concerns,' said Henrik Christensen, a member of the Euron ethics group.Whoa, say what now?
Other dilemmas may arrive sooner than we think, says Christensen. 'People are going to be having sex with robots within five years,' he said. So should limits be set on the appearance, for example, of such robotic sex toys?I know that sci-fi has taught us that robots/androids will end up looking like Jude Law or Jeri Ryan, but am the only one who thinks they'll end up more like Sy Borg or Bender?

That just goes to show that prudes will always be ahead of the technology curve when it comes to interfering with the fun of consenting adults.
BTW, name change ... and a few other things. Blame the new blogger "2-hot-4-you" on the latest post by "The Film Geek." Something seems familiar about that one. Also check out the ongoing saga of "RodStewartIsSexy" on the brother-in-law's page. There is a link between the two users.
