BATTLE OF THE PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS
THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF ROBOTICS REPORTS THAT IN 2011 THE GLOBAL ROBOT POPULATION WAS 18 MILLION
IN COMPARISON, THERE ARE NOW FIVE BILLION MOBILE PHONES IN THE WORLD, 1.1 BILLION OF WHICH ARE SMARTPHONES
IN 1979, A WORKER AT A FORD PLANT WAS STRUCK BY A ROBOT ARM, MARKING THE FIRST ROBOT-ON-HUMAN KILLING
CELLPHONES HAVE BEEN BLAMED FOR DEATH BY DRIVING ACCIDENTS, CANCER, EXPLODING BATTERIES AND PLANE CRASHES
ROBOT PROLIFERATION HAS LED TO SPECULATION THAT SENTIENT MACHINES WILL ONE DAY TAKE OVER THE PLANET
IN Q1, DAILY IPHONE SALES OUTSTRIPPED THE GLOBAL BIRTH RATE (377,000 PHONES/ DAY VERSUS 371,000 BABIES/DAY)
THE COMBINED VALUE OF THE GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL ROBOT AND SERVICE ROBOT MARKETS REPRESENTS $17.2 BILLION PER YEAR
MEANWHILE THE GLOBAL MOBILE APPS MARKET ALONE IS EXPECTED TO BE WORTH $101.2 BILLION ANNUALLY BY 2017
THE WORD ‘ROBOT’ WAS COINED IN 1920 AND COMES FROM THE CZECH WORD ROBOTA, MEANING ‘COMPULSORY LABOUR’
IRONICALLY, MOBILE DEVICE SOPHISTICATION AND ALWAYS-ON CONNECTIVITY NOW MEAN LONGER WORKING HOURS FOR MANY
AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL POLICE COMMISSIONER MICK KEELTY BELIEVES FUTURE CRIMES WILL BE COMMITTED BY ROBOTS AND CYBORGS
INCREASING SMARTPHONE USAGE IS DRIVING A RISE IN GLOBAL CYBERCRIME, AS HACKERS EXPLOIT SECURITY LOOPHOLES
