Robot Work Force: A Blessing or a Curse?

Robot Work Force: A Blessing or a Curse? 10/30/2003 11:57 PM
Marshall Brain is stirring up more controversy. Roland Piquepaille notes in his blog that while Brain's last article "Robotic Nation" warned that robots could displace the human workforce causing massive unemployment, now he has done a 180 and is promoting the idea as a Utopian ideal he calls "Robotic Freedom". Imagine a world in which robots do all the work and humans are all on permanent vacation (government welfare). Everyone will become a creative artist and be happy, right? Marshall is a little late in stumbling onto these ideas. Science Fiction readers have been pondering this sort of thing for half a century. And if anyone, including Brain, actually believes "Robotic Freedom" is a good idea, they should read Jack Williamson's 1947 story, With Folded Hands and be very, very afraid. "To serve and obey and guard men from harm..."

Work-Life Balance Tilting Too Much
Towards Work 11/14/2003 02:51 PM
One of the downsides to the fact that people can work whenever they want is that it's sometimes hard for people to stop working. According to a study done in Europe, many overly stressed out workers are asking their bosses to cut their hours and salary just to gain back some control over their lives. Meanwhile, many bosses in IT are increasingly worried that their staff is going to burn out. Of course, a lot of that could be solved if companies hired more people, but they still seem hesitant to do so.

The Star Wars trilogy will be out on DVD soon. How will Fox fare?

May the force be with them

May the force be with them 09/13/2004 10:29 AM
For Star Wars fans, the arrival of the original trilogy on DVD is nothing short of remarkable, after watching hundreds of lesser science fiction movies make their way into special edition packaging. While the four-disc box set, which will hit stores on Sept. 21 will apparently include the additional scenes added by George Lucas when the trio was re-released in theatres, transferring the movies to DVD was no small task. Even though the original film elements of the three movies have spent most of their time resting in vaults, USA Today <A HREF="http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/techinnovations/2004-09-0 6-star-wars_x.htm">reports</A>, they had gathered wear and tear that would have been noticeable had they been transferred, as is, straight to DVD. "The most popular movies are often, by far and away, in the worst shape," John Lowry of Lowry Digital Images said. "They have been printed more often and been duplicated more often, and each of those passes adds scuffs, dirt, scratches and the like." The solution? 600 networked Power Mac G5 computers with the equivalent of 378 terabytes of hard-disk storage, along with 80 employees and months of painstaking labor. "The result is as if a veil has been lifted: The annoying hail of visible noise is gone, and colors are richer. The footage seems to shine, as if brand-new. 'We have given it the kind of sharpness which doesn't create ugly edges,' Lowry said."

Force to farce

Force to farce 06/05/2005 10:55 PM
I'm keeping my head down to work on my book, most of the time, but Kerry Lauerman asked for contributions to a package about "Star Wars," and, well, I couldn't resist. You can read my thoughts on why I, as a passionate teenage science fiction fan in the 1970s, was never a fan of George Lucas's epic, here.

On a related subject, I watched "Spaceballs" for the first time during my last vacation, in the company of my family, and while it was as, well, slight as I expected, there was something about the notion of "The Schwartz" (Mel Brooks' answer to the Force) that really seemed to charm my five-year-old boys, who took up the concept as a rallying cry and did not let it go.
