I could really use a robot named Fred, who could use a weed eater. I like Mike's idea of an wireless implant except that I would be afraid that, as I was using the weed eater, I would look over and see Fred sitting in the lawn chair sipping a can of Lipton oil.

This robot would be my kind of luck. He would have me changing his lubricants and buffing his feet. *sigh* dang wet wire implants. They sounded so good when the government said they were free.

I want a robot that can cook, clean and answer emails for me. Also, it would be nice if it could compete against me in sports. No one is at the court at 7 am but if I wanted to play basketball before work I could just go against my robot. I would also like to be able to communicate with my robot wirelessly via an implant in my brain.

Now this is an advanced model. the gyros alone for rapid direction changes and sensors for targeting all the variables. Not to mention the processing power to interpret all the data so it does not just randomly break into a jig every time it addresses the free throw line. this is the kind of model that would dress like a pimp because he could. LOL.

I would indeed own a robot, and i would do naughty things to it despite its metal exterior. I would name it Yolande after my grandmother. And it would be creepy if they were in every home and buissness and would fear they would rise up against us like in I Robot with Will Smith.

why stop at metal when you could have one with synthetic skin and an algorithm to reproduce breathing and blinking? There is something creepy about the idea of a breathing robot hovering around me asking how it can be of service...O-o

I would get a robot.
IT would be water proof, fire proof, etc.
I would have it clean my house, laundry, dishes, wash dog etc.
No objections, I wouldn't want it like watching me in the bed room getting my job on.lol.

f*cker is what I would name it.

I see where the dialog using that name is going "F*ck*r get over here." Very clever.
