Skynet to Take Over 3.5 Million Jobs in Japan

Skynet has been watching your movies and your chronicles and has learned from its mistakes. It’s closed up shop and moved to Japan where it plans to take over 3.5 million jobs by 2025. Japanese thinktank Machine Industry Foundation says that robots could stave off worker shortages as the population shrinks. Thinktank indeed. More like Skynet front!

A report by the foundation finds that Japan could save 2.1 trillion yen ($21 billion USD) of elderly insurance payments using robots to monitor their health. Robots can do menial work which could free people to spend time on other things like getting soft and complacent making it easier for Skynet to take over! I see through your plot Machine Industry Foundation!

Hopefully, Furuta-san will have built an army of Gundam by then to defend Japan against Skynet.

    I was planning to say the same thing as D2k. Course we could always make an Asimov reference about the foundation series.

    HOLY CRAP. This is the plot of Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society. The exact same thing happened (all the elderly were being monitored by machines connected to the net) and it totally tripped out in the end.
