keep it real 
did you ever notice how fast cutting edge technology is becoming obsolete? buy a new computer at top dollar and in less than a year its worth $10 at best, and thats if you melt down all the metal from the circuitry and sell it along with the power cable. at the rate bill gates is wiping his ass with solid gold bars that equals the wealth of an entire country's population, america will be the only surviving civilization, under catchy new and improved name, conjured up by some microsoft employee, in a matter of time equal to 4.7 years by my calculations. and you know the currency will have the top notch green bubble style to it. the only other country will be taiwan, who builds everything including the little mechanical monkey robots with bill gate's face tattooed on its ass cheeks that will be flying around. you wake up in the morning and press a single button and everything you did that day is already completed, and then a little door opens up and elves pop out and tuck you back into bed. we will have machines to carry out the very act of human thought. why bother ourselves with such mundane activities when he could have technology do it for us? this is our future. yes, my friends, the matrix is becomming a reality. bill gates is signing contracts with the japanese as we speak. dont drink the water!

You need professional help.

Well, I think josh is going a bit too far, but you gotta admit that electric can openers are pretty lame.

Actually three of those are related to each other, and require each other to exist.

Want a scary example of how advanced robotics and computers are getting? This professor invented a breed of robots out of BMW parts that can recognize cars in need of service and fix them...UNAIDED! They need four separate PC's to run though...all of them with Linux!?!

Yup, I remember reading somewhere that it was indeed a hoax.
