Researchers in California have created a "printed skin technology" that could soon give robots a sense of touch.
OR, WE COULD JUST NOT DO THAT
Seriously we need scientists to consider that when these robots achieve sentience, they're going to use all of this technology against us in the inevitable Robot vs. Human war (although, truthfully, I might be team robot. Humans are terrible.) The last thing we need is for these machines to be get all 5 senses. Let's leave that one for humanity. Don't do that.
And why would sex robots even need to feel touch? If we're banging a robot, we've already decided we don't care all that much about the other participant. I don't need to be disappointing a computer, too.
I mean "we." Not "I." I'm great at sex. Have tons of it. I love *checks smudged writing on hand* penus.
