I read this article, because -really- how can you not with a headline like: "Sex with Robots: How Humanity Is Screwing Itself"?
It's really more about how technology is taking over more aspects of our lives. And it is upfront about being a commentary. But one part really struck me. The author asks, "Will this simulated sex get so good as to convince us that it's the real thing? How will we know if it isn't?"
How will we know? And what if it's better? Mmmmm... better. Think of all the dirty socks you'll never have to pick up again.
