    China opened a four story mall that sells nothing but Robots! There's over 100 different robots for sale, from 40 companies.

    To put all this in perspective, Intel's plan has long been to put half the compute power required to run a Star Trek style holodeck on one chip, that uses 7 or less watts, within the next five years. Its gotten so bad, the Chinese are now demanding high speed HBM memory chips as a bargaining point in the tariff wars. Already, electronics and electricity account for perhaps a third of the world economy, and the Electronic Revolution has already turned into the Electronic Nightmare.

    I'd like one that can clean the entire house. Even better if they can also do home repairs, but I have a feeling that I'll be long gone before that's affordable.

    The answer may be to get one that you can program to go out robbing banks. The downside would be when it got caught, having to visit it in prison every month. :D
