Coding In The Darkness

Was reading this article on the BBC Technology pages today – Robot To Create Facebook Page i may actually ask to be his friend, just to see what he is getting up to, what his status updates code be (“1000101 101001010 101001010100 100101″, “having a recharge”, “Why is it only female robots get multi core processors?”), will he speak to me on Facebook chat, invite me to join him on some apps or maybe he’s really passionate about his carbon footprint and has made a group that i can join.

First Robot to get Facebook profile

But it just got me thinking about what role robots will play in the future?

Me and @ShaunMarshal have had a few conversations which must seem ridiculous to passers by about;

• what robots will be doing for us in the future
• how long until we are living and interacting with robots on a daily basis
• how long before they overthrow the us and destroy the human race!

Even writing now it sounds crazy but as technology gets increasingly powerful and smaller how long is it until we enter an iRobot type world?
Thinking back to articles I’ve read and videos I’ve seen they have robots that look like humans, act like humans and learn like humans. Now add that to the fact that there are plenty of Hollywood movies where robots end up in charge and go on some murderous rampage.
What you get is a human like creature that learns how to take over the world with their legions of robot allies.

How long before we are all terminated?

Again it may sound like crazy, paranoid ramblings of a mad man but for those of you who have a similar instinct to me i urge you to watch The Terminator 1 – 3, A.I., iRobot, Transformers, RoboCop, Universal Soldier and that one where the robot guy is driving a yellow taxi, so we can anticipate any form of attack!

I shall be keeping a firm eye on this whole robot up-rise, i just urge you that global warming may be threatening are world over the next 100 years, but the dawn of a robot age could be soon upon us!

Update!: Now Japan has developed Worlds first robot teacher! > Actually quite funny looking at the pictures, is very freaky, but where will this lead us, teaching is a well paid job, will robots be the future of teaching?

I found this blog whilst googling the other day and thought it was just such good advice i had to pass on.

Google doing it's searching magic

SEO Gold – http://www.seo-gold.com

I will be viewing posts regularly as there just seems to be some good information there about Search Engine Optimisation, I’m still learning and perfecting the craft and i wish i had found this site months ago!

I think its worth checking the SEO Tutorial post first, to help get your head around the whole idea and references. Also helps to teach you the good and bad ways to do SEO, although they mention they fit into neither bracket as they test both ways in a test environment i just find it helpful that someone is presenting all the information clearly without pushing the one and only “correct way to do it”.

Also the fact that the advantages and consequences for doing SEO cleanly or doing it the risky naughty way are very interesting and hopefully the more people who have a better understanding of the subject means that we will always have search engines pointing us to the best and correct content.

Let me know if it helps you in anyway, or you could let SEO Gold know yourself!
