Meet the Remote-Control Self

KYOTO, Japan -- Hiroshi Ishiguro is a busy man. Between his two jobs, countless meetings and presentations, his demanding schedule was eating up all his time. So he built an android version of himself to pick up the slack.

Yay! Robot me!
Yay! Dancing robot badgers!
Yay! Buxom slutty robot alt!

oops.

*cough*...er...just ignore that last bit, k?

Amazing.

It's truly -- and I'm not being sarcastic here at all -- a pity we're never going to see how far technology could really have gone, had we not stupidly, short-sightedly set ourselves up to run out of energy.

Amen to that, Alex. On which note, it's worth carving out 15 minutes in your day and reading this - E.M. Forster's short story from 1909. Scarily prescient.
