Discussing Science with people who need to learn more science

[gekkogo]

Not nearly as impressive but one day not too long past, my physics class got into an awful tangent about whether robots were going to become a "thing". I instinctually just shot the idea down (out of the 5 people that talk in that class) because the notion was brought up by a straight nerd. As such I was shooting down the idea of what could be programmed into the robot whether they would ever get into the complexity of doing anything useful, because at the time the most impressive thing I'd seen a robot do was play ping-pong. Or as the chinese call it Ping-Pong.

So the teacher gets in on the discussion and starts showing videos to the class of robots that have been programmed into doing tons of stuff like playing music, driving cars, and there's even one that can do the catwalk.

With the technological industry ever-booming robotics are coming into view, and I felt like a dumbass (nothing new).
