When you think about it, driving for most of us is a rather brain-dead state -- comparable to watching TV where a brain monitor would conclude that we are asleep. I'd be happy to let my rig drive itself while I hang out in the back seat with a good video or take a nap :)Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585969582693570200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351291409183975474.post-14847026588369332732017-02-13T11:50:23.699-05:002017-02-13T11:50:23.699-05:00I have to admit that I've used ATMs for many y...I have to admit that I've used ATMs for many years, I never thought of them as robots & really like the convenience. 3/4 of the time (these days) I'll use a self check out just to save the time.<br />I never thought of the self checkout as a robot until I watched that robot video ... I guess if it bagged my groceries for me calling it a robot would be easier...<br />Thanks for the commenting!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450082315014407506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351291409183975474.post-15091574746876410752017-02-13T08:39:56.302-05:002017-02-13T08:39:56.302-05:00I had not given it much thought, but in a way the ...I had not given it much thought, but in a way the self check out and the ATM machine are robots.<br /><br />I stay clear of the self check outs, I prefer the human interaction even if I have to stand in line longer.<br /><br />I do not like ATM cards so I cut them up as soon as they mail them to me. In your case and as much as you travel it would not be practical.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351291409183975474.post-3756098275499836342017-02-12T16:29:35.683-05:002017-02-12T16:29:35.683-05:00I think we're looking at a great big unknown.....I think we're looking at a great big unknown...
