Beyond Reason
I like machines. Occasionally, usually on the couch, I envision an idyllic future, like the one in The Jetsons, where a robot rolls over to me with a martini. In the timeless classic by Flight of the Concords, the song Robots, set in “the distant future, the year 2000,” it is Man vs. Robot. The song is so good I’m rooting for the robots! And who could forget Short Circuit, the 1986 film starring Steve Guttenberg alongside a delightful robot, No. 5? The picture also gave us the hit single “Who’s Johnny,” by El Debarge. OK, fine. Most people forgot that film but I did not! #neverforget!
