And I literally said, "I'm going to be using future tense since they aren't common and in every store, so they are still a future tech as of right now." And they aren't common or in a bunch of stores. That's why I'm still calling it future tech. Then all you've proven is that you don't know what future tech is. Allow me to educate you. Future tech is technology that isn't available yet and/or hasn't been created yet and is still theoretical or conceptual in nature. It is not, as you're misattributing here, technology that is available but not widespread. If the technology is available for commercial purchase, it is not, by definition, future tech. I would think "Technology that exists in the present is, by basic English knowledge, not future tech" would be an unneeded statement, but apparently I was wrong... LinkPizza posted... And it seems like it can barely do anything? That's why I'm asking what it can do. I already answered you - whatever you want to teach it to do. LinkPizza posted... Can it do stuff other than pick up small items and vacuum? Yes - it can do whatever you want to teach it to do. Why are you asking the same question multiple times when it has already been answered? LinkPizza posted... The guy bumped a table. But instead of it taking a picture and repositioning itself, it got sad and had to wait for the guys to make it do that. Which seems less autonomous, tbh. Because it has not learned that function. If you want to teach it to do that, you can do so. LinkPizza posted... Which means I was right when I said it was future tech as it still doesn't actually work the way it's supposed to... It does work the way it's supposed to. The fact that it is still relatively primitive does not mean it is not working as intended. Saying, "It's early days" does not mean that the technology isn't functioning correctly, it means the current functionality of the tech is low and it will be a while before this particular technology sees widespread use, as it still needs to be developed and improved further. What you're saying is like claiming that space travel is future tech because it isn't widespread yet, despite the fact that we've been travelling to and from space for almost a century now. LinkPizza posted... I was calling it future tech because it's not common or anything. In other words you were demonstrating that you don't know what "future tech" means and using an incorrect definition of the term. Yes, we noticed. LinkPizza posted... As for the roombas, I'm not the one mixing up arguments. You are. And that's the fifth "No, u!" argument of the post. You have a bad habit of projection, did you know that? There's better approaches to arguing than, "I am rubber, you are glue". --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.
