MAASTRICHT, Netherlands (AFP) - Romantic human-robot relationships are no longer the stuff of science fiction -- researchers expect them to become reality within four decades.
Will a female robot still "have a headache"! And will the male robots be appropriately "equipped" with the proper "tools"! Calling Mr. Data of Star Trek: The Next Generation, your services are requested on planet Earth!

Well, with the ever increasing amount of humans who participate in on-line social communities as opposed to real life social communities, work from home, do internet dating, opting to get their degrees on-line instead of actually attending a brick and mortar school, and those goofey on-line sim environments that allow participants to live out a fantasy life; I say I am surprised that fembots haven't already hit market.
I actually have this guy's book sitting in a stack somewhere around here. The author was on Colbert's show last year (I think). Colbert eventually asked the author if he could smoke his degree.

Well what I laugh about reading the article is that they're assuming (especially on the male side) that males would WANT a robot that holds conversations and can reject you???
I mean wouldn't the entire purpose of a sexual robot for the types of men who are in the market be to just shut up and have sex???
