Robotics

People are like robots. More than content with their placing in the rat race, they often celebrate their participation in it. Here are some examples of this:

- Over sized SUVs like the Hummer. Often 'customized' to void their off road capabilities with small/ thin tires and bling-ing rims, flat-screen TVs, and other necessities in the quest to gain the attention and to impress the other trend following robots. Wouldn't a big sign that says "look at me PLEASE" be less expensive? But atlas, until big signs are deemed the new 'must have item' of the robot in crowd, the $50,000 variety is the clear choice.

- Starbucks coffee. Ever watched someone carrying their piping hot little friend on their way to work? The robot resemblance is there, sure, but what makes me smile is the way they all hold them: out, extended away from their body and raised up slightly, like a trophy they've just been awarded for something- Almost like the coffee is the one leading the half asleep, caffeine craving zombie to its destination.

* note: If you're of the typical 'current trend' robot variety, it must be Starbucks. Some people ahead of the curve may be seen with other less known, or 'underground'/ local coffees in hand. These cutting edge counterparts seek to separate themselves from the other robots, but for all other intents and purposes are still robots- just robots from a few months in the future.
