Tech tools for fools?

"lonely wolf" Lifestyle

Touching many countries and especially the Eastern Hemisphere … Asian part of the world.

What would you say if you randomly stab upon this kind of picture:

Japanese man… marrying a doll? Nah, not a flawless skin, million layers make-up, tiny girl, but THE DOLL, real doll made of plastic! Shocking, jaw dropping, eyebrows flacking and more wrinklyyyish mimic.

This kind of things are truly out of this planet. An absurd?! Huh, would be a tip of an iceberg of this whole nonsense…

What’s next? Virtual kids and opening the virtual kindergartens? How fun to see it someday, eventho with time it would be seen as normal, like with phones that few decades ago were thought of smth… um, outside of this world — mysterious , impossible to explain, but very tempting to face off.

Thinking to have a multifunctional devise that in instance bring you closer to anyone you want, who miles away from you, in a matter of a sec be able to talk to them; guide to the destination you want, connect to a satellite that is somewhere in space (GPS); have a photo or video camera; serve as a wallet, and other small tools, such as alarm, calculator,… All of it, in a size fit in your pocket, attached to you for the whole day. So few decades ago, a phone was something like a rocket science.

So now, the demand for virtual or AI tech tools to replicate friends, partners, and child is created more by us — man itself.

Well, indeed might be nice to have but at the same time boring. Bet this is not an issue for so-called antisocial, isolated introverts. Basically those AI tools give an illusion of power, like the dating apps that lean upon on illusion of choice. 

Yeah this one THIS ONE kindergarten for AI or Virtual kids! Absurd thing or near future? I go for second choice. 

Man + Robots +...= Future?

“Man with Robots”– for this we don’t need to wait years. In Japan, well, in South Korea too but not as vigorously as its happening in Japan.

Bushido credo (Samurai), Sumo fighters, Geisha culture, Seafood masters, Anime makers,…oh gosh, what else are they known for? Tech gurus, Kamikazes, Nuclear war survivors,..  I listed many things, so I wonder, how this nation actually bide the complete different things in one bucket and still hold up to an image of disciplined work-hard beings? Where the one can be an Anime fan and Sumo fighter at once.

For them…

…the choice to live and spend time with robots is a casually chatting with a friend over a drink — something special, and fun, and er, normal. 

..have a romantic relationship with robots is a routine things like: known thing and some already went through some breakups (ahem, with AI partners). 

With Robots? Why the hell not, when thinking…: 

  • They don’t complain
  • They don’t spend money on silly things, But surely their so-called master (YOU) also dripping coins when buying the clothes online for your robot, like an update for your game character.
  • TADAaam, robot can be turned off at any time. Surely talking about 2020 -2025 models.  

 

I bet many people would get one if only they could buy it online, and anonymously. Russia and China peeps, who keen to buy more when there is an “anonymous” tag-on, especially when purchasing something for self use (+18).    

WHATS MORE...

Er,… ok, so as far as I see…

The top figures — in any hot-damn Parliament, or White house, or Kremlin — sponsoring that new trend: upgrade all tech tools. ‘The more the better’, ‘…advancing in technology is the key to coexist in multipolar World…’. Nothing to add, gotcha. 

As a top figure to rule the state projects, I would think like robots need an attractive look, with very cute and beautiful face that is likely to replicate — in delicate way — human features to its max. With wrinkles!! 

It’s mad! Pretty soon you wont even tell who is human and not. Well, true, today it’s also hard to tell, but now is more about personalty and lifestyle  — tattoos, piercing, gender binary( yeah yeah, formal word to use) — in a future we would wonder how to deal with AI ‘rights’. Quite simple to say and write it here, but, wha-sha-sha can’t think of how days would look like then. 

One thing I could say FOR SURE: Yeah, seems like we all, keep that course to a “lonely” existence. 

In developed world…

Yes, its noticed, the shrinking tendency...: more space on the roads, parking got breezier. Yes “less people more air”, guess many would want to say that, especially in Japan or Bangladesh, and other. If to take Japan, there is an alarming gap between death and birth rate. 

On my behalf, I think it’s fair to say for now (21st century) Japan is focally the land of grandpas and grandmas. No offence, it’s a privileged group, but so far would not help Japan to keep their high-tech lead trophy. And plus this group has all-eyes on government support (pension) that comes from taxes…er, who pays?! Younger population. So it’s pretty much the effect of colander, as I call it: everything will slowly drain — any progress — if there are holes.

Japan’s bashing, if not give-it-a-go, from economic and demographic decline resonates with the wide swath of other nationalities that boarder them…but that’s another story to tell. 

Quick to learn :  New alternatives and formats, bring up new words in Japan. I assume some used in South Korea.

MADOGIWAZOKU _ a person that sitting next to the window .. all they do waiting for the retirement. 

YUURESHA —ghost person, always sits in front of the computer… 

HIKOKOMORI — isolated lifestyle, the growing trend.

FUTUKO —  who leaves the school and become the Hikokomori after.

P.s. Pard me if I spelled any of this wrong. 

*Kuril Islands dispute, since 2022 Russia blocked the access to Kuril Islands… ok ok, Japan might have some “access exceptions” but Im not aware of it.
Meanwhile in South Korea…dating + marriage + kids + school = TOTAL RIP OFF or that’s the life meaning? 
More and more Japanese young adults chose “online” love relationship, with cyber girlfriend/ boyfriend, robots, coded program as a lifetime partner… Good idea ?But I would wonder how they… um, and do they??Ah better to skip that.
