Robots Are Net's Future, Says Vint Cerf 118
Ned Nederlander writes "Vint Cerf talks the future of the Internet with Ed Cone: 'I expect to see much more interesting interactions, including the possibility of haptic interactions — touch. Not just touch screens, but the ability to remotely interact with things. Little robots, for example, that are instantiations of you, and are remotely operated, giving you what is called telepresence. It's a step well beyond the kind of video telepresence we are accustomed to seeing today.'"

Only at slashdot would the first post be modded "redundant". [slashdot.org] Mods, please consult a dictionary, [reference.com] there are several on the internet. That was offtopic, not redundant.
As this comment will now directly address the parent, [uncyclopedia.org] it is not offtopic. Mod it -1, lame. [uncyclopedia.org]
Dude, robots are going to have to come a long, long way before... oops, bad choice of words.
Robots are going to have to, erm, get a lot more high tech before they'll satisfy. But at any rate, girlfriends go for twenty bucks here in Springfield. See A Nerd's Guide to Getting Laid [slashdot.org]. Unfortunately, there's nothing in that journal about robotics or the internet, although it does mention porn.
What was I talking about again?

The day when there are easily-available machines that mostly replace women for purposes of sex will be an interesting day in the history of women's liberation.
It has certainly been interesting [abovethelaw.com] since men were replaced.

Forgive me if this sounds offensive or trollish; I'm just reminded of a joke I heard in my non-PC days... "If women didn't have pussies, they'd have been hunted to extinction long ago".
