Life? What's that? Can I download it?! 
I just bought a robot vacuum cleaner out of sheer laziness, should I be worried?

Yes. A friend of mine had one of those things and it turned on him. He is now dead.

@Skurn:

Sigh... I don't think you really want one of us to answer that.

Yes, you will now hasten the arrival of the Technological singularity and the end of mankind.

Change is constant, but Constants do not change. 
Yep, it's starting. (what's starting?)

As technologies innovate and become more reliable, efficient, versatile, and precise, our tasks are to be done with ease.

However,some tasks are becoming too easy, where in manpower is no longer necessary.

We are starting to become useless

Are you gonna let that scum-sucking robot vacuum replace you from doing a very simple (yet sickening and tiring) task?

Fight against it!

And yes, you need to be somehow worried.

I see there are some ups and downs here. On one hand my apartment will be clean but on the other hand I might hypothetically contribute to the end of the world (or the end of me). hmmm there is a risk that the vacuum will spy on me as well.

Maybe I'll cancel the order and buy a pet instead.
