The artificial womb

[SweetPea]

The world you live in now is dominated by technology. Back in the fifteenth century people probably bemoaned the technology of printed books because it meant the end of the old ways. You can either fear technological change or you can embrace it. I recommend the latter.
So what you are saying is that the talk ten years ago was just sensationalist nonsense.

Technology, though, is a two-edged sword. It can assist a premature baby or fire missiles to kill thousands.

No, I don't think it was sensational nonsense, at all, that was me being sarcastic.... these guys are serious. But do you really want our children to lose their handwriting skills?

So you are quite happy that your TV can listen to what you say and GCHQ can hack into it? Not to mention everything else like your fridge.....or would you prefer the good old white goods that just did the job of what they were made for?

We are careful what we discuss when our smart TV is on.

[Robbie]

'Smart' being the word floo. My telly's not as clever as yours.
My fridge gets annoyed with me occasionally, makes grumbling sound, now I know why.

Yes, you wouldn't want your plans for assassinating Paul Hollywood to protest at food wastage known

[Robbie]

Could learn to speak in Yiddish, I guess the UK tellies only understand English, French, etc. Or Welsh for floo!

I didn't know who Paul Hollywood was either NS but when I looked himup  I recognised him, saw him on a chat show where he talked about Bake Off going to Ch4. Never seen Bake Off (but know who Mary Berry is)!

I have never heard of the guy. I have just looked him up on google, and am not surprised as I can't stand those cookery programmes and never watch them. I bet they waste a lot of food too.

That is really a unpleasant comment to make, and I would have thought infringed the forum rules.

Since when was talking about assassinating someone a JOKE?

Thomas Hardy meets Shirley Jackson.

I am reminded that Mr Gradgrind in 'Hard Times' has his head covered in knobs.

Floo donate your TV to a charity shop and replace it with one that's not so clever. You'll get a bargain on e-bay.

I think she needs to get the TV disappeared, otherwise it might sing. Maybe if she talks to the gullfather, he can see that it sleeps with the fishes.

[Rhiannon]

I'm worried that if she doesn't have the tv any more she'll move onto Noel Fielding and that would be wrong.

[Robbie]

He is reputed to have a large bush or something similar.

No, can't see floo being into Emily Bronte.

Floo, think cartoon violence!
