"This raises a number of half amusing, half serious problems about the relationships between men and machines, including emotional and even sexual relationships. Professor Block at Cornell University speculates that man machine sexual relationships may not be too far distant...................................A serious inquiry into these issues is to be found in an article by Roland Puccetti in the British "Journal of the Philosophy of Science, 18 (1967)39-51." - Alvin Toffler (Future Shock) "No society racing thru the turbulance of the next several decades will be able to do without specialised centres in which the rate of change is artificially depressed. To phrase it differently, we shall need enclaves of the past - communities in which turn-over, novelty and choice are delibrately limited. These may be communities in which history is partly frozen, like the Amish villages of Pennsylvania, or places in which the past is artificially simulated, like Williamsburg, Virginia or Mystic, Connecticut. unlike Williamsburg or Mystic, however, thru which visitors stream at a steady and rapid clip, tomorrows enclaves of the past must be places where people faced with future shock can escape the pressures of overstimulation for weeks, months, even years, if they so choose." - Alvin Toffler (Future Shock) Yep, pretty much okey now...
