3D printers are getting really advanced.

“Hello, Jeff, Alexa here. Yeah, it looks like he’s had 15 drinks. It’s time to set up a couple subscribe and save orders for something he doesn’t need and will never be able to figure out how to stop”

Ah yes, let's sell...[nervously looks around room] Chairs! ... (Blank stares from board meeting) that uhhh.... [Sees through window cars driving] Chairs that, uhhh DRIVE! (Everyone stands up and applauds)

Wait, Star Trek is known for not where seatbelts.... oh no!

Calm down there killer. I think this was made for someone's house. No robot will be taking your bartending job anytime soon.

This comment could be read in three different ways and I love it.

You can use whatever device you have at home; a desktop, laptop, raspberry pi, or tablet. They can be triggered from the other side of the Earth. I know I'm a watchaholic, but my point was that you can use any of your devices (which you have control of) rather than buying a dedicated device that listens to you all the time and does who knows what in the background.

This is great but why doesn’t Volkswagen build an actual fucking wheelchair for disabled people instead of a toy for rich twats

Yeah that’s probably you. I hate watches. And I use my phone enough on work, if I come home it often enough ends up in a corner. I was mobile game .. addicted.. long enough to make that decision.

Also all that you said would require me to be there. Live. Things like Alexa work even if you are not there or others can use it rather instinctively.

You can just say "New Yorkers".

Presumably the functionality can be replicated on an offline smarthome control system?

>“Blow me Alexa”

I didn't know that was an option. I think I'll look into getting an Alexa now.

And a drone that can fly to the liquor store and get another bottle.

You can do all those things with your phone. Why buy another device that does the same thing, but with less control over what it does in the background?

I have all my automation set up in my watch. I prefer to push a button rather than talk, but that's just me.

It's an office chair with a tow hitch... Technology really has gone too far this time.

You go into alcohol withdrawal

How about they put that design skill to work and create a better variant of wheel chair than the iBot Mobility System? Granted, that would be a tall order to beat.

I would get alcohol poisoning in a month

Damn it, they are finally going to get me to buy an Alexa product.

If its not straight whiskey then its mixed

Edit: I know its an unpopular opinion but I want to challenge and be proven wrong with evidence.

20kph is pretty standard for a mobility scooter, if they were much faster they wouldn’t pavement legal in a lot of places.

Ive been screwing with a mixing robot proto for a while. Getting pumps quick, accurate and cheap is hard too. And trying to dose carbonated beverages....

Grav fed will be a problem. They'll slow down as the liquor runs out.
