The rise of the machines

I don’t know about you but the part of the world that I live in is becoming dangerous and I shudder to think about what is next. We are being played by some bigger heads and all they do is to move the motion and we start hurting ourselves. We become the victims in the long run; forlorn and scathed even before we are done and dusted with.

We live in a drone world where machines are being designed to replace humans, because humans are fallible, untrustworthy, and unreliable and ages with time, which affects his movements and efficiency. Humans are higher creatures with fully fledged thinking capabilities that alters their emotions thus their behavior. Humans enjoy diminishing marginal utility in every aspect of their lives, so a few people decided to save the world by substituting humans with robots. Robots that will be programmed to carry out specific tasks, devoid of emotions to increase reliability and efficiency. The idea is that, once the robot is highly maintained and all parts oiled, it should work according to expectation because they come with monitoring tools or counters. Nothing more, nothing less and all you require is the instructions manual and a Remote Controller

My first encounter with robots was during my childhood, when Ghana Television (GTV) used to air a Science fiction series titled ‘Dr. Who’, even before the latter days ‘Terminator’ and ‘Robocop’ came into being. All these robots were programmed to do one thing, which is to destroy or defend, and were invented and kept by a group of powerful people vested under the guise of multi-million dollar Companies. But now, the kind of drones that are invented and being manufactured on daily basis only makes you ask, “Where are we going with this?”

Technology has advanced and the dynamics of economics is now favorable with the changing times and the making of these machines have now taken a human face. These machines are very helpful and in most cases, things we badly need and they come in neat packages. They make you feel like they are the panacea to all your problems and they come handy all the time. 

The introduction of computers into the work environment has seen to it that a good number of workers have been redeployed because of redundancy. The Computer has laid off the store-keeper who arranges the ‘IN’ and ‘OUT’ files all day, every day, just because the simple creation of folders have emerged. The Postman has also been laid off, with the emergence of the e-mail. It has laid off the Security man in some instances because a drone ‘eye’ (CCTV) that will not sleep, is watching and even recording activities in the premises for later access. A good number of replacements have taken place which has changed the arduous ways we go through to complete a task such as a blender, microwave, massager rice cooker and many more.

With all the evidences surrounding us and the many more potentials out there, it is convincing to say these machines have come to stay and It now behooves man to compete with machines that are charged, machines whose lives are sustained on cells and I don’t know how we, as a race are working on catching up with these emotionless machines that are programmed to function, machines that have no beliefs, no aspirations, no spiritual inclinations and no values nor moral obligations.They have changed our way of lives which includes the way we communicate. These machines have altered our inputs and expectations and have replaced some of our processes of doing things but it is even sad and more disturbing if you are replaced by machine at work and at home. Most people find themselves in that situation and the rate, at which the number is increasing, is alarming.

What will go through the mind of a man when he realizes that her wife/girlfriend has replaced him in the bedroom with a vibrator or pocket pussy that can be whipped out anywhere? We are already having sleepless nights competing with machines in the outside world. Men are mostly overworking to keep up with these machines and losing energy faster than they ever thought and I am sure that every sane person will suddenly go insane, at least for a while, should they find out that, they need to put up extra work in the bedroom department too. How possible! Those machines never get tired, they are even faster and getting more sophisticated by the day just to satisfy our insatiable desires and complex minds.

These machines go all the way until a ‘normal’ woman orgasm, which is usually not attainable by man on regular basis. You are even doomed if the machine made her orgasm in a very special way than you have ever done to her because orgasm is not definite, at least, the reliability of the machine is bound to always take her beyond the cloud nine we have come to agree on, as the threshold. 

Vibrators, Dildos, G-Spot wands, suction cups, Penile toys, penetrative toys and other sex toys out there simulates even more than humans and are breaking a number of marriages, relationships and families than is being manufactured. Hitherto, men and women used to be the standard, but the rise of the machines has rendered them as Placebos which is not so good. You are even tempted to ask what is the motivation behind this trend and why would a straight thinking person always want to climax to the max? Why can’t that fellow strive to perfect other aspects of his or her life?

When men replace women with hyper-realistic dolls that doesn’t express feelings nor talk back but satisfies them sexually, and women buying artificial hymen that comes with blood to deceive the partner that, they are still virgins, then you will know that the world is full of virtual reality; deceit. These machines were supposed to help or in some instances, compliment our effort but we seem to have had different uses for them and are now making them substitute our efforts.

I thought our re-defined modernity and civilization was going to help us but it has turned out to be something most of us have not envisaged and I can tell that, it will eat us up until the last man surrenders. Every one of us have one machine or the other that has taken over the duties and roles a person used to play and gradually, we will be surrounded by machines that will also start fighting for their rights and responsibilities. We have created monsters that will eventually kill us directly and indirectly and finally take over our world.

I don’t want to live in a machine world; I don’t want all these virtual reality because they lack the emotional and sensitivity interplay that takes place between two individuals. I don’t want to live in a world full of robots because the shift in paradigm is so acute from God’s divine plan. I don’t want to live in such a world where my partner will not have empathy on me by taking my situation into perspective.

Apart from other reasons that influence people to acquire these sex toys, partners also agree to introduce it into their relationship to avoid each other from cheating. How convenient! It takes more than sex for a person to cheat in a relationship so save us that sermon. And while we are caught up in the euphoria, let us be mindful, as to which human roles we want to eliminate in our lives, because it is just the beginning of the RISE OF THE MACHINES.
