We all know that sex robots are going to be at the forefront of anthropomorphic automatons, but Japan is adding something else: babies. It’s a big deal because Japan has the world’s oldest population, and it’s only getting older. Right now a quarter of all Japanese people are at least sixty years old. Not only are Japanese people living longer, their fertility rate is shockingly low. It’s perhaps one of the only countries in all of history in which people are not having enough sex, as economically emasculated males feel uncomfortable approaching ladies, leaving record numbers of single people. That means the elderly population is going to get bigger and bigger. So too will robots–for lonely people.
