Datenschutz! Datenschutz, Datenschutz, Datenschutz Datenschutz. Robot insects.
Drones. Datenschutz. Robots. Amazon. Amazon drone robots. New ideas. Bad technology. Technology bad. Bad ideas.
Then there’s the Datenschutz part.

Technisch ist es möglich, der Datenschutz aber ist heikel.
Please read the following out loud in that classic monotone el cheapo Hollywood movie robot voice:
We are all robots here. No one talks. It is ghostly quiet here in the Amazon warehouse.
We are forced to wear these weird orange signal jackets. Amazon wants us to hand over our brains at the door once we enter here. There is no turning back.
Only the customer is allowed to have any individuality.
Everything is fully conform. Every step is standardized. Deviations would disrupt the calculation.
They have got me so far that I now do everything they say (just like I already do outside when watching the Tagesschau or when reading Spiegel Online).
I have no free will. We are all victims and are being ausgebeutet (exploited) to an unbearable degree. This is Kapitalismus pur or something. Oh my God we are all going to die. No, wait. We are dead already.
“Mich haben sie jetzt so weit. Ich mache, was man mir sagt.”
Bad consumer! Environmental groups are alarmed and warning that the entire German reusable bottle system as we know it may soon be on the verge of collapse. And it’s all because of you, ihr Flaschen (“you bottles,” a German idiom for losers). You’re recyling the wrong bottles (the plastic ones, these are “bad”).
Horror of horrors or something. Just when Big Green Brother finally got you to robotically return your bottles to the reusable bottle robots located at your local supermarket, like you should, for your own good, you start buying more plastic returnables (thinking that these are as “good” as good old glass ones), causing the share of environmentally friendly bottles in circulation to sink from 70 to 50 percent. If this continues, the whole system will become “unprofitable,” whatever that means.
It seems that Fearless Leader’s five-year plan actually called for a percentage of 80 percent of environmentally friendly bottles to be in circulation so you have all failed miserably and will now have to be reprogrammed at your own cost again so that you know better and start buying the good glass recyclable bottles instead. And returning them to the robots (the machine ones). After you have emptied them, I mean (the bottles). Ah, the hell with it. They’ll explain it all to you better later.
Eine bessere Kennzeichnung und ökologisch differenzierte Steuer werden verlangt.
And they aren’t even here yet. But they will be, soon. Halloween is coming up, after all.
And you thought Street View was scary. This is going to be a real privacy invasion, people. These robotic nightmares have mind reading laser probes that will continually feed on their victims’ brain-stem cells and gather more personal information about them than even they (at Google Imperial Command) will know what to do with. But they will, with time.
Die sind immer und überall.
