We've explored artificial obsessions before. This is one of my favorites- Robots, and more specifically, Androids. Modern Robotics is a far cry from the sentient artificial lifeforms that litter Science Fiction. Right now all we have are overgrown baby dolls with the ability to react to very limited stimuli. With current Nanotechnology and quantum computing technologies experiencing exponential growth, artificial intelligence is certain to follow in the next 100 years. I remain optimistic that the Machines won't be taking over anytime too soon. On the other hand, I could see a large sector of the populace forgoing human relationships and buying custom made lovers,friends, and families.
Here are some amazing videos of the Japanese doing what they do best... scaring Americans.
