Never Trust Robots

Do you know what I'm terrified about? Is it the possible unrest in Egypt leading to mass violence and a military coup because Mubarak still won't bloody leave? Well yes, but not that. Is anyone of the ConDem policies that are being churned out this week that will each individually damage the constitution of our society - 1) The Big Society scheme that demands we all volunteer despite not providing the support, money or initiative for such people to do things therefore just shirking all responsibility for the government and making us scrabble round for ourselves while they sit back in their swimming pools made of money; 2) the closing of libraries where we're told we have to, or they make cuts that affect the elderly. Surely it should just be that they don't make either cuts that affect the vulnerable like that and instead actually just stop allowing big companies to avoid tax payments. I like my nan and I like books, I don't like fat smug selfish corporation managers. I think they should pay so my nan can read the books she likes; 3) Getting rid of checks for people who work with children is essentially taking a system that has successfully been in place for the safety of children for years, rolling up it like a straw and letting sex offenders drinks champagne through it. Some of you may say things right now like 'but Tiernan, haven't you gone all Daily Mail?' and I will say 'No. Both my parents work in Child Protection and if you knew figures of people who'd been stopped by such checks you'd know its just an insane proposal; 4) Cutting corporation tax by the highest cut its ever had, and still allowing companies to avoid all tax payments for offshore industry and business, whilst refusing to cut individual tax is up there with the cruelest things I've ever heard. So persuading businesses to take their work elsewhere, making more redundancies over here is going to help the deficit is it? Next thing you'll be telling us that pouring petrol on fire will put it out and cutting your own legs off will help us run faster.

But no, despite the fact that all of those things worry me immensely, to the extent that I wasn't intending to write a paragraph about it but I did, what worries me more is this:

ROBOTS TO GET THEIR OWN INTERNET

WHAT?!?!? Has no one seen The Matrix? Or the Terminator? Or Short Circuit 2? ( He was a tad violent with that gang. I mean, c'mon, that's step one). How stupid are scientists really? This is exactly how the uprising will start. Sure at first they'll just be uploading youtube videos of the stupid basic robots on wheels banging into doors or rolling off tables, and making hilarious comments underneath such as '1010101010001', but then it'll escalate into a Wikipedia of knowledge about all robot kind, and RoboticFaceBook where they'll all start clicking 'Like' for the 'Destroy the Humans' group. Before we know it, we'll all be sitting in small pods wired into our laptops like mindless drones just trapped within an unreal world. It won't be that much different from Twitter.

I'm fairly sure scientists don't watch films or they'd know to spend their time curing cancer and other things rather than dabble in such dangerous pasttimes. I keep reading about the possibilities of a Jurassic Park, genetic developments and various weapons testing that I'm almost 99% certain will lead to us all dying from zombie nuclear T-Rex attacks in the near future, controlled by a robot headset. Let's stop SKYnet from happening. Not least because with that name its almost certainly going to be owned by Rupert Murdoch who will find away to put his brain in a bionic body and go round on giant mechanical legs eating the poor and carrying Cameron on his shoulders like a parrot.

I'm not sure how to bring this up with the government. So far they haven't listened to anything the people actually want, so mentioning this will probably be as futile as resistance will be when the Borg get us all. I say as of now we take it into our own hands. See your computer infront of you? Punch it. Punch it now, in its stupid face. That'll learn it. Then hover a glass of water of the keyboard giving it a knowing wink so it daren't step out of line. Perhaps kick a traffic light when you walk past it, or if you see a kid with a DS, slap it out of that child's hands and stamp on it shouting 'SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE" or something.

We can do it people. We mustn't let the robots win...wait, why isn't this blog saving?.....er......ZAP. AZKAKAZKZKAKZKZKAZK
