As humanity races forward to the future, we have run smack into challenges that threaten to overthrow us. Over the past decade, the issue of environmentalism has swelled with our expanding global connections and consequences for past generations' actions come to the forefront. Therefore, when we look at is yet to be, it is not just relevant, but critical to consider the question, "What will we throw away?"
Many fantasize that, alongside silver skylines and flying cars, robots will assist and serve their human creators. Considering the advancements in the field of technology, the matter is more of a 'when' than 'if', with the details of 'what' being left to architects and dreams. But what will happen when they grow old or become obsolete? Sure, we recycle computers today, but what happens when circuts and plastic take on the form and appearance of flesh? Furthermore, what if it has spent its existence caring for you, such as the Japanese robots intended to help the elderly?
What if it becomes a him or a her?
I found myself staring straight at such a mournful dilema while wandering the darker part of Pteron. She could not speak - it seemed like her vocal unit had shorted out - but her stark green eyes and worn exterior told her story. The android had faithfully served someone for decades, but when her processes started failing, she was stripped of her accessories and left out in the dump. She probably observed from a back alley the delivery of her replacement. Now, she wanders a rusted wasteland, waiting for her battery to die and bring mercy to her fading existence.
