Robotwatch 5: Row-back on robots



The scoundrel and future-scare addict Wackso-me-Jackso Jackson - or Il Papa to his acolytes - has found his position on the robot takeover by 2020 untenable.

In a long, dense, and incomprehensibly drunken monologue occurring for upward of 46 minutes the other night he conceded that 2020 was "an unlikely and somewhat premature date for a complete takeover of the planet by robots".

"No" he later continued after refreshment and a couple of hearty lungfuls, "It'll be 2030. There's still cybertronic-neural-interface-capability issues to be resolved."

Well, that's 10 years more of us running the gaff before the Metal Mickeys get on our case.

Result.
