Technological trash

Whilst the likes of Honda and Hitachi are continually pushing the boundaries of robotic technology, other manufacturers appear to be a long way behind their more illustrious and well-funded rivals.

Closer inspection of the image also revealing that large-screen plasma TVs are perhaps not quite as ubiquitous as we are often lead to believe.

    Is that a 2nd hand shop? It just looks like a load of junk through the window, when did those Green phones go out of fashion and those televisions??

    Yeah, it’s just a second hand/junk shop I came across.

    Glad you noticed the green phone, as it’s what initially caught my eye. That tastefully coloured model being the first telephone my parents ever bought.

    Needless to say, ‘cutting edge’ was never a phrase casually banded about in our house…

    Well, I can picture this guy in a black and white horror movie just the same. I think the “green phone” is something pretty internationally recognised and thrown away…then picked up and sold on eBay for tons of money!

    I’m particularly impressed with the composite material vertical-stabilization technology employed by this model. (i.e. cinder blocks)

    Very, very high-tech.

    My guess is that the “composite material vertical-stabilization technology” (i.e. cinder blocks) combined with the attached chains also serve as a high-tech anti-theft device.
