Might it be the end- the end of robots? An old Chinese woman beats a hospital robot with a stick her frustration caught by the ever-present video -which has become our memory stronger than religion as it binds us to Event- and maybe the tipping point of all our saved frustrations. It could have been simple- You are not listening! I need to see a Doctor now! Where is the bathroom? I don’t know but I am with her as are you and millions of us with our sticks straining to be released from our mechanical souls.

I love the image of the woman beating the robot with a stick. I think we have all been there with our computers at one time or another,
