...putting expensive synths to work with hand tools in a mine is almost beyond parody. Shoddy, lazy writing.
I agree. Would you really replace all the efficient built-for-purpose robots that build cars with synths that emulate their human equivalents? Doesn't make sense.Also why does it need any stimulation / input sensors after all it's only digging.
In addition manufacturers don't need to produce computers for specific purposes. they just make the base product, then you decide what you will use it for.
The same would go for a robot designed to do a human task. Just make something that can interact with the world as we do, then it just fits in and does the job.

A bit of a lazy post so I must apologise, but I missed Sundays return episode, where can I watch it?
Sorry, but...definitely a lazy post. It's a Channel 4 program so how about 4OD? Oh , and as you are lazy, here's the link!

My view of TV is quite basic, I generally tend to watch the first four channels and not go much further, so whilst I could have researched it, I thought i'd join in with every other lazy bugger on the 'net and just ask. I was hoping it would be repeated on TV rather than the internet, but the OH has the gubbins to plug her lappy into the TV so maybe we'll catch up that way with all the pauses, jerkiness and general piss poor quality that method brings.
Nevertheless, thank you.

Doesn't make sense.But the director of this prog. wanted to make a point, which involves the depiction of hard, manual labour. Not his fault he doesn't appreciate what goes on down there...just a shame he has to parade his ignorance.

So, now we know. A top of the range latest model synth is about the price of a 5-series BMW.
Which would you spend your money on?Shoegrip said:

I would probably buy one of the older models from the 'Scarlett Johansson' range, which would leave enough money for a descent 3yo hot hatch. But of course this opens the 'new vs used' debate.
I'd lease one.

I like the idea of impressionable kids mimicking synths - that's a good twist imho....
It reminded me of the episode of Star Trek The Next Generation where a kid gets rescued by Data from an accident that killed both his parents. In order to cope with the horror of his parents death the kid starts mimicking Data as an emotionless android.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
