sex with robots?

during today's discussion, i had an image in my head the whole time of this notice of proposed development that companies post on a future building site. but on the sign was a whole bunch of words in different languages. the charlie brown phone conversations cam to mind almost how i would say a "wah wah wah"... haha. the issue people in power proposing ideas in language that most average people can't understand really stuck out in my mind. at the same time, these articles that tell us to keep our minds open to futures and try to define different possibilities were difficult to read. i feel like university is an invitation to learn new languages in a sense. we are learning how to speak and in turn how to listen and understand in an entirely new way. we talked today about society ostensibly robbing our ability to dream. we are learning that imagination is the most important factor in being prepared though. in this way, are our dreams political? because we dream and imagine things mostly based on a conscious, or perhaps unconscious world view, how we identify ourselves within a community and in the world... what we want or could imagine for the future is politics. just as the most recent dator article speaks of, it is not up to the politician but the individual. we keep dreaming and using our imaginations to keep politics personal.
