In my younger years I was the one who put together the ice cream/shake machine in the morning before the store opened- it had to be put together at 5:30 am in order for the machine to be cold enough to make ice cream from the mix by 10:30 am when lunch started. When they say "The machine is broken" what they really mean is either nobody who knew how to put the machine together came to work that day (there were only 2 people in the whole store who knew what they were doing) OR whoever broke down and cleaned the machine the night before didn't do it right and the whole machine needs re-cleaning and sanitized. Once while I was on vacation nobody put the machine together or took it apart to clean- they just put a sign on it saying it was broke- and when I got back every part had mold growing in/on it and the tub of "mix" in the back of it was green and nasty.
As for the rest, carry on!
This is a great example, of the "care" that will come with our future robot tech. If people can't take care of a simple ice cream machine, how on earth will they be able to maintain even more complex machines....like say, a robot?
Food for thought.
Ps. I never ordered ice cream from McDs. I had heard these horror stories before. Lol
Thanks for adding to this for me. I was reaching a good bit here.
I was picturing a scenario where there's a line at McDonald's. We now have robots working the front counter taking orders. More than likely there will be only one robot working the counter. I saw this robot breaking down in the middle of a lunch rush.
Then I imagined how that entire crowd would react when they all have to wait for the robot to be repaired. If the "Mcflurry/ice cream machines are such a headache, then how on earth will something way more complex make things better for our lives?
This thought lead me to the future of robot human relationships. People will fall madly in love with their robot companion. I imagines a scenario where someone is in a lengthy relationship with their robot companion, and in the heat of "passion" the robot breaks down.
It's clear from how people react to the Mcflurry machine breaking down as to how some will react to that. If there's a deeper emotional attachment to an object that breaks, then the response will be even worse.
I can see even more people going on killing sprees-----all because a machine they "loved" broke down.
In the future people will care more about these machines than they do each other.
