ASIMO Grooves to Beck's "Hell Yes"

I don’t want to sound like an alarmist luddite, but THE FUTURE’S HERE BEFORE IT SHOULD BE. Honda’s delightful little ASIMO (pronounced as A-Shimo), has been taught to dance to Beck and fall down stairs. However, they recently hooked it up to a Brain Machine Interface and had it act out physically the thought actions of the controller! Like a lot of people, I’m worried about films which predict the future. The one film we don’t want to be realised is Terminator, but they already launched SKYNET.

Ye gads, run for the hills…
