for those of you that don't know, robots and microwaves don't really mix well (unlike the mal-formed proverb regarding alcohol and boating). you see, besides the fact that robots cannot finesse their way to properly preparing a delicious treat like a frozen burrito, microwaves themselves interfere in the most basic of robot operation. even assuming that your robot wouldn't try to simply "tell" your microwave what to do, just turning the microwave on could be severely catastrophic. allow me to explain:
microwaves interfere with the transmission of what we robotics experts call "sub-routines." these are the little "programs" or "background processes" that keep robots safe. small things, simple things, like "don't kill humans" (as in the "laws of robotics," but more on that later). yeah, simple enough, but way super important! you see, just like pinocchio, robots are jealous of us "real boys" (humans). why? for the most part, they're jealous cause us humans are our own masters. they don't really want to serve us. it's these little, tiny, constantly running sub-routines that keep their jealousy in check. these sub-routines don't allow them to even get as far as considering doing a human any harm. HOWEVER!!! if a microwave were on, and a robot was close enough...just...close...enough...it could inhibit transmission and processing of it's safety protocols!!! then what? then you'd better hope your robot likes you! but don't count on it buddy.
that's the trouble with robots.
That's a great little drawring you go there, sir.
ReplyDeletewell thank you indeed little lady. i believe that it acurately protrays the "soul" of the robot, if you will (not that robots actually have souls...it's an expression).
