Ai Robot

That sketch still cracks me up, as does this one: Merry Xmas!.

I 'borrowed' this story from a blog, but seeing as two blogs have 'borrowed' a photograph from my Miyajima post, it only seems fair. According to this report, Japan has the highest density of robots in the world, by quite a long way: ten times the average. However, Europe sneaks ahead, overtaking Asia and America in the continent race.


In Germany's automobile industry there is a proportion of 7 staff to 1 robot, and there will be an estimated 1.2 million industrial robots by 2011. Who said statistics weren't fun?

Actually, a stunning statistic I read the other day was that, in the USA, one in a hundred people are in prison. That is insane.
