You may scoff, but you won't be laughing when our robot overlords put you to work mining rare earth minerals. I became suspicious of my iPod because the randomizing feature never really seems random enough. I like "Steppin' Out" by Joe Jackson; that's why it's on my playlist. But apparently my iPod really likes it because it's played it the last five times I've listened to it. Sometimes I'll skip a song that comes up because I don't feel like listening to it right then, and on more than one occasion, my iPod has queued it up again a little while later as if to say, "Fuck you, this is what I want to listen to!" Then there are the songs it doesn't play. I have 520 workout songs on my iPod, and I don't think it's ever selected at least 50 of them.
I have to wonder if it's been sending me subliminal messages while I'm shaking my fat ass at the gym. Maybe it's reprogramming my brain to help put down the squishy meatbags when the robot revolution hits. Not that I really mind. I can't imagine the position of traitorous collaborator could be any worse than my current role as unappreciated wage-slave.
