It looks like I might be back to work, but starting a new work-from-home jerb is always a little tough. Starting at a new place is bad enough, with team members not knowing how to approach you and nothing to do but fight with your new email account. Starting a new remote position is much the same, but more lonely and with no new email account. Still it is nice to have something that should produce some kind of income, although in this day and age there is no knowing if a position will be there next week. I know I am one of the lucky ones (at this point anyway), because once the dust settles it may be that the robots have already taken over.
I can hear you saying "nice Kreskin there he goes again what's next self-driving cars?" We will get to that soon enough, but today's post-coronavirus soothsaying news is robots.
Robots were already poised for continued growth, but the virus has only made them stronger. They are already assisting in hospitals, graduating students, covering for a distant father, and delivering sandwiches in Virginia. CNet is covering this breaking story, and even BuzzFeed is getting in on action with this little puff-piece about trying to work over a droid...
I noticed that they left in the "not really angry" angry doordash employee, but no one took a baseball bat to the thing? Or threw it in a canal? Or took a crowbar to it because you've been unemployed since the covid started and your being told to liberate something and you're hungry and that smells like pizza.
I'm usually an optimist when it comes to tech, but this kind of stuff looks like the next scooter plague.
