Don’t you know that everything is online now? Everything!

Don’t go to the grocery store, you can have it delivered. Don’t go to a home improvement center, you can have the supplies and a construction worker sent to you.

Don’t go looking for romance… you can find it behind a screen.

All that time you’ve spent searching bars, meetup events, social hour at your house of worship… no, no, no.

Just order up a boyfriend or girlfriend with a convenient digital button. It doesn’t really matter how long it will last, a does it? As long as you have it now. Go ahead, you’ll thank me later.

You say the old fashioned meet-cute can’t be beat? You say that nothing can simulate the real thing? Well, I regret to inform you: poppycock!

It’s already the days of Asimov’s I, Robot. Didn’t you know that?? You should have made your three rules when you had the chance!

Now there’s no rules. No rules, no guidance… no guiding star for the robots. Robots can do whatever robots want.

Did you think about that? Did you think about that in your selfish quest for love?

Your selfish quest for love? No — your selfish quest for more. Because… well… because more is better. More that I love, more is better. Isn’t it?!

Ok, well… There are all sorts of bonding possibilities around. Everywhere you look. Especially a cursor to a button.

Or an outlet to a cord….
