Asimo takes a tumble

Here's a little good old Japanese hubris for you.



These videos never get old to me. My astronomy professor said the other day that in 20 years, robots will be able to out-think human beings. I don't believe that. Sure, they may be able to do math problems better and quicker. But I don't believe any robot will ever create for instance, a beautiful painting or song. I don't think a robot could write a poem or inspire an audience with a speech.

But of course, they won't need any of that when they rise up and enslave the human race. So I guess this is not important.
