MY ROBOTIC VACUUM’S CULT OF MYSTERIOUS INTELLIGENCE
May 12, 2005 | Christopher J. Falvey
We recently welcomed a new member to our household. Along with my girlfriend and four cats, I am now housemates with a robotic vacuum. The little guy sports a subtly futuristic, grey body and three simple buttons, each lit with old-school, computer-style green LEDs labeled “small,” “medium,” and “large.” There is no on/off switch- as I inferred from the instructions, once you start the thing working, it’ll decide when it wants to stop. While it apparently cannot figure out the size of the room, it knows everything else any other sentient being needs to know to clean said room. more at http://www.vnvo.com/stories/my_robotic_vacuums_cult_mysterious_intelligence_p1.asp
