A new report has looked people's attitudes to the future of technology
Of 12,000 interviewed, over a quarter of 18-34 year olds said they'd date a robot
Men were found to be three times more likely to date bots than women
- 27% of 18-34 year olds would form a relationship with a robot
- Men are also more likely than women to prefer their social media lives to their real ones
- 70% said that smartphones are weakening human bonds
- 42% of 18-34 year olds report feeling depressed or unhappy after seeing other people's lives online
- 40% of people aged between 18 and 34 are concerned that robots will take their jobs

However. What this tells me is that 73% of 18-34 year olds would NOT consider dating robots. And that WE can make a difference in a young person's life. We can engage in conversation with someone glued to his/her phone, even if it seems silly or trivial or crazy. We can reintroduce that human element. We can add meaning, even if it's just for a few minutes. We can change memories. We can change timelines.

And some of it would be pure curiosity. Though concerning it is not my biggest concern right now.
