if this is the future, i am very disappointed.

The other night at the children's museum there was a showing of the robotic chair. I was pretty excited to see it. I had heard really good things, and i've had a thing for robots ever since i felt a strange bond to the heartless tin man in wizard of oz. Honestly, i found it to be the most frustrating thing i have ever seen. it's really hard to talk about it to anyone who hasn't seen it, so i'm going to attempt to post a video of it. HOWEVER. all the videos i can find of it are only 3-4 minutes long. IF in actuality the whole process from start to finish was only 3 minutes, i probably would have thought it to be pretty f'ing sweet. it was more like 15-20 minutes. i just want to point out that that was favourited 507 times on youtube. the robot was malfunctioning and could not reattach its legs. it would go to do it and then psych everyone out and not attach. it did this like 40 times. the first couple of times it was kind of cute, like, "aww look, the robotic chair is trying to be funny". there was a woman who was like the curator or somethng and by the 5th time the leg didnt attach everyone just stared at her and was like "what the F is this things problem??" me being one of them. FINALLY, what seemed like hours later, the legs attached (half the audience had left by this point). the whole thing was really anti-climatic. so, basically, here are my suggestions for the robotic chair. 1- speed up. a super sonic-robotic chair would REALLY sell tickets. 2- add some music. music makes everything better. im thinking some really techno beats, maybe some futuristic laser beam sounds. 3- practice makes perfect. this kind of goes with the first tip. but, robots are supposed to be efficient. i would never wait 20 minutes for my chair to reassemble itself. i would go sit on a regular chair. thats all for now i guess. oh, i should mention that hilary really loved the robotic chair.
