We're done. Sci-Fi... is fact.

Game over, man. Game over.
And on that note, I am thinking about how I might proceed into this brave new world. Seems this Alpha Generation is in love with being constantly connected with entertainment. And I had this idea about utilizing that with a modification to Plight. I'm thinking this G or PG rated variant will be called Darosia. In it, the lives of a few dozen kits growing up and facing life's greater challenges will be showcased in a bunch of mini episode chapters. Already got 30 episodes in the first stage of framing. Now, since I really lack the skills of creating my own moving anime, I'm rather interested in this Sora stuff and if it can bring the vision to life. I'll do the writing. And forget about those stick figure drawings.
This stuff still has plenty of room to grow towards. But this may be enough for this toddler's stage of bringing Plight into the motion world.
Reasons I'm doing this:
1) Does this modern world of ours really like to read?
2) How many months does my job really have until this wave of sci-fi robots takes over? I got to be seriously thinking about it. After all, once it is gone, then what???
3) I look at Matthew Gafford and his amazing work with A Fox in Space. Two episodes in over eight years with nearly daily work towards the third. Quality over quantity. Sure are masterpieces. But the people want to consume quantity like it was a seasonal series. To do what I want, I need quantity... just like I saw it back in high school.
4) Bills need paying. And I sure don't have much of a budget. Just a lifetime of gaming that has gone up ten thousand percent in value.
The way I am seeing it, there are at least two barriers still at play. 1) The safety factor. After all, if some robot steps on a child's foot, the potential lawsuits may discourage companies from investing in these things... for now. 2) I suspect that eight million is still a drop in the bucket for the full labor force out there. And they're early era costs probably can't undercut the lower wage jobs in some countries... at least, just yet.
Worse yet, this Tesla guy is a leader of this race towards the future. Other companies want to keep him out of a monopoly. Competition does things for bringing down prices.
Decades would have been my younger self, seeing a particular episode of Twilight Zone that foretold about the changes that automation could do. I good notion for science fiction. One that my younger self could see taking decades... and a great deal of them.
Problem is: These are the days of science fiction. Never mind the brave face. I am scared.

And now, fast food places are trying out automated arms for cooking burgers and delivering food to drive thru customers. I even saw an automated 7-11, the other day. Granted, it looks like it could have benefited from a robotic security guard.
