Frozen Pizza

Damn, check out this video on preparation of Frozen Pizza. Its fun to watch how machines have replaced humans for faster processing and precision and probably save cost. I wonder if there will be a time when human population will be regulated to suit the resources that are available for consumption. China already does this under their one child policy. I forget the name of the Issac Asimov's story that describes a planet with very few humans and ton load of robots. I wonder if it is inevitable that the world in described in Matrix would come true. Machines becoming overlords! Ha ha ha ha.

Lets take a look at life in a developed country, the absence of electricity can bring life to a halt, for

  1. Food would perish causing shortage since refrigerators (home,grocery stores) wouldn't work
  2. Communication systems will be down (VOIP,Cellphones, Modems,TV)
Hmmn, 1 and 2 seem scary enough. To imagine the cascading effect of absence of electricity on 1, the food distribution networks of companies would all be down, as I would imagine a lot of the process would be automated using systems. Damn! now that is a real scary thought. I wonder what kind of backup processes, companies have if electricity failed.

In developing and underdeveloped countries absence of electricity might not be that huge a problem since many aspects of processes in society are not through systems and still a lot of human intervention.

Oh well it is time to get something to eat, I wonder if the refridgerator is humming just fine? :p
