Giant robots... where do I begin? They have been
kings of
Japanese anime for
decades, but as far as real life goes,
where the hell are they? I mean, we
still use
tanks,
helicopters, and
jeeps on the fields of battle. How are we supposed to
advance warfare at this pace? In
forty years,
computers went from being
building-sized to being able to be held in one's
hand; why hasn't the
technology for creating
giant robots sprung up as quickly? Why hasn't
someone designed a
giant robot? Why hasn't a
company built one?
Where are any of our futuristic goodies? Where are our flying cars, our nanobots, our advanced genetic engineering? Hell, what do we have? Junk mail delivered at light speed, "revolutionary" B2B companies, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5.
It's the year 2000. I don't know about you, but I want my future, and I want it now.
