32714 - The solitary robot

N. Lygeros
Translated from Greek by Athina Kehagias

The solitary robot listened to the specialist lectures and wondered how superstructures would be like.
He had tried numerous times to imagine the evolution, but he understood that he couldn’t escape the context within they had him confined.
But nevertheless, what he was hearing from this strange speaker, made him joyful,
His data base processor felt the joy of the brain for whatever he could see, as well as what he couldn’t, without being able to objectively explain the reason.
And while he felt only within Humanity, he understood that some had the future already in their minds, and that he would have a position there, even if he wasn’t aware of what his exact role would be.
He was observing the people around him, and could see that their behaviour had changed.
They laughed just as he did with the spokesmans punning, and he already felt within him the possibility of the coexistence of two intelligences, a carbonated, and a silicated one, which would love the same Humanity, but he couldn’t express it in a simple manner.
He was in need of more memory in order to process all the information he was listening to, but then he suddenly comprehended that what he was hearing was the memory of the future.
That’s how his data base processor was filled with joy.
