What have you learnt from a robot?

Postby Nanoose » Tue Nov 03, 2009 11:42 am

When ever my work day includes a degree of danger I think about that robot on the
TV series Lost in space. When I was a kid I thought that robot was stupid because all he pretty much did was wave his arms around and say - danger – danger Will Roberson! Plus he didn’t really have a name.
I had mixed emotions about Doctor Smith he was pretty bad - but he seemed to be the only one that had the decency to give the robot a humorous nic name like bubble headed booby
Now a days I wish I had a robot at work that would wave its arms around and say – danger – danger Nanoose (I’d program him to say it that way) plus I would program him to point out the specific problem instead of just waving its arms around .
But I don’t so before I begin a work day I look for all the dangers and if I start getting careless and not working safely – I say to my self danger - danger Will Robinson..

On October 30th - if I had a robot like the one on lost in space it would of been a bit pointless. After the robot warmed me of the 2 specific work dangers “slippery unstable embankments and a 99.99% chance of more rain” - I would of said – no da thanks a lot you bubble headed booby please go scan for aliens and send in Robbie the robot to stabilize the embankments. Cheers! .

PS: Robbie the robot - the robot from Lost in space and I would probably all hate
that smug irritating robot Stanley on the TV show the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.
What's pushing us apart isn't loneliness what's holding us together isn't love. Listen to the man who's been touched all his life yes he's the one they call the fool. Where is that savoir of the sidewalk life and the road that takes us to the crusades? We still got along way to go yes we still got a along way to go.
