I like that Quotation: " A consumer society eventually consumes itself "

A remarkable quote and one to remember ... this is a quote which can live and breathe more than a robot or a person!

Wow, this is turning out to be a pretty cool discussion. Anyway, I just wanted to jump in and say that I finally got around to watching the first episode of "Humans" this evening... and I really enjoyed it. Sure it was a little slow to start, but it's got the potential to be something pretty cool, and (with exception of a few shows) it's a heck of a lot better than a lot of the rubbish that's currently showing on UK TV channels.

There are hints of "Do androids dream of electric sheep"/"Bladerunner", but it's also very different in a many ways, one of which is when it is set (almost present day of very near future) which brings a lot of realism to the story, and actually making the the thing look like its something we could be doing in just a couple of years from now. I look forward to seeing more of the writers take on what it would be like living amongst these kinds of next generation robotic machines, wheather they are bundled with highly sophisticated programming, or they become sentient. eek

So I just watched the last episode of the series, and I really enjoyed it. I felt the show started off a little bit slow, but it did eventually find its pace once everything started to come together and events were starting to be explained. An enjoyable story and something a little different, and was about a subject I'm very much interested in. For those who did watch it, I hope you enjoyed it too.

It was good to see how two of the main human characters who started off not liking "Synth's", actually ending up defending them and understanding their wish to exist. I wonder how these same characters would have reacted if the Synth's didn't look and feel so human, but actually looked like robots in the general sense. Would they have been so understanding and be so willing to help protect the key for sentient machines?

I don't really watch a lot of TV, but I'm glad I found and stuck with it as I did enjoy it, and I look forward to it's return.

Love that theme tune as well.

i dont think there will be robots walking in your home for atleast 100 years. also there will no taxi driver loose there job,cause they need tax payers there, money to build there robots.i do think the military knows alot more then all of us. its not the robot alone,averything counts when or not a robot will walk this earth. who can affort it?what with global warming,to many people alreddy. millions of questions needs to be solved,i totally agree what dj says. the girl that says why would we learn is very scary to know ,childeren think this way. like all good inventions are being used the wrong way.
