I really really want to see this, although it's 'inspired' by rather than based on Asimov's book (i.e. no psychic robot, unless that's the plot twist). Earth 'losing' is a bit early for the series anyway isn't it

I saw the trailer a while back, looked odd and I didn't see any robot action or anything. [addsig]

Well, there's been a full trailer out for a while now with robot action, and it gives away the plot that, surprise surprise, the robots turn against their human masters.

And we wonder why people are anti-GM/nanotech/whatever sometimes

I think people will only be against nanotech until it becomes really good, at which point they will love it. How many people can you see trying to ban nanotech when there's some nano-uberbot that can cure aids and cancer...

Conversely, how many people can you see trying to ban it when there's some nano-uberbot that can liquify a person based on their DNA, eh

When I get my small compensation s**tty amount from the UK govt for my YEAR WASTED OF MY LIFE! cause, I intend to invest in nanotechnology shares, to the tune of a few thousand pounds, hopefully...

is it worth it? i have only done minor reading on the subject..

My friend bought some nanotechnology shares. Two weeks later he went completely bald and got scurvy. Nanotechnology is bad news.

I once got scurvy, became really ill after drinking 3 pints of orange juice and my gums hurt like s**t, was fine after a couple of days though, the vitamin c settled in and gave me the s**ts [addsig]

surely scurvy is a lack of fruit juice/vitamin c ? hence sailors used to get it on long haul journeys where fresh fruit wasnt available ? methinks myrk is just a big scrubber

Myrk is so full of s**t. Sorry Gwil, I don't really know any information on the subject that would be useful to you, I'll shut up.

Naah, I didn't mean it seriously chief.. I do hope to invest, but can't seem to find good/reliable articles/info on the prospects of nanotechnology - but it is a big buzz word atm... I figure the tech heads on here might know bits and bobs

Depending on how much I have to use, I may just consult my 'rents financial advisor rather than throwing money down the drain

Or invest in space weapons and death rays, which would be ace. if a little hopeful.

Sorry I kind of missed out some facts from my story. I hadn't eaten any vegetables or vitmin C for several weeks before, so when I did have OJ the acid kinda burnt and I became I'll because of the sudden intake of vitamins.

It's all part of the lovely life of a student

If you're serious about investing I think biotechnology will be here long before nanotech. Tho nanotech is certainly cooler.

I don't want to see it.

What's the point in creating a movie based on robots when the robots look like crappy stick figures molded from IMacs?
