When you go through the drive through at a nearby fast food restaurant do you want a robot to take your order? Wouldn't you rather talk to a human that greets you like a person? Do we want our children to address us as yes sir and ma'am? Does anybody actually want to date the computer from the original Star Trek series? What about something more than marriage?
Are these things to become our destiny? Will robots have personality someday? There are no answers to this phenomena only a lot more questions. How far is this to go? What will become of the human touch? Do we want robots to ask us how our day has went? With robots will anybody ever stand out from the crowd? Will there ever be a Purple Cow with robots?
Will robots be able to Service Customers some day? I did a lot of R and D on robots in the early days and I even attempted to build one now they are everywhere. I work a part time job at a local fast food establishment to get out of the house and I was actually told that if I continued to converse with customers they would have to let me go.
So many people have told me that they didn't like the robots in all the establishments in todays times. To be honest I did not care much about the job because pay was sub standard, no breaks, always on my feet. I enjoyed being a person though. I pride myself as being the Purple Cow of people, the one who stands out from the rest. I apply this same principal in everything in life. I do not ever wish to become a robot.
I have never seen a computer, much less anything else, that had a personality of any sort except for that which a human person has programmed into them. I have been programmed by life that I have lived can this be put into a robot? do not mean to just ramble on but I am trying to see advantages of the destiny that is becoming of us. Can a robot personality become unique? can a robot have a personality?
I just went to the local WalMart. There was only self checkout available. no one asked me if I had found everything I needed. It only wanted my money then it was goodbye. Now I did see a bagger that had on a funny Top Hat. I bet a robot will never have on of those. At least not intentionally.
In the living room my kids are plating XBox live and are talking about killing a warthog and being mutilated by Banshees. Can a robot ever do this? What about just a computer? Boy, I am just filled with nothing but questions these days. Will robots someday become self aware and recreate better robots?
Why did I write this that is the question everybody should be asking themselves. I just wanted to give everybody something to think about

My Grandmother always said the following two things often. Number one was to never lay all your eggs in one basket and number two was to never count your chickens before they hatched.

Wrong Number Marketing
By: Jeffrey A Solochek, I | 25/04/2008 | Marketing
Over the years it has gotten harder and harder to find new effective ways to market your wares. With direct mail you may be lucky enough to get maybe a quarter of a percent positive response. If you use a little creativity and send a postcard with a picture of someplace like Hawaii and a message that looks hand written then maybe you'll get a 2 or 3 percent positive response. Blanket an entire zip code, sending out thousands of these post cards to maybe get 2 or 3 sales.

Friends, not Part of My Destiny to Ever Have One
By: Jeffrey A Solochek, I | 28/01/2008 | Psychology
Over a dozen years ago I had a best friend named Phillip. We both worked for the same company and when we first met we could not stand each other. Our boss was making us work together on things and over time we found out we had a lot of things in common and for the next 3 years Phillip was my best friend. Whenever I needed someone to talk to he was there and vice versa plus we would go bowling together about once a week and we both enjoyed SciFi shows like Star Trek.

Big Promises and Little Returns
By: Jeffrey A Solochek, I | 14/01/2008 | Internet
This is what Web hosting is today. They promise enormous amounts of web space, unlimited bandwidth and a whole bunch of other things that nobody will ever use. How many of us have a site that needs over 1 gig of space or how about 10+ gigs of bandwidth each month. Then they offer us the ability to host all of our sites under one account, unlimited MYSQL databases, unlimited email accounts, scripts, blogs, and a host of other things that most people will never use unless maybe we are all the size of a walmart or something. They all promise us everything under the sun these days but when it comes time for us to get these things they disappear very quickly and we have to submit a ticket that somebody in India might answer
