WHAT DID JONI DO ON HER FLORIDA VACATION? #8 of 16.

Joni also dared to pose for a close up selfie portrait, much to the pleasure of Joni the Brunette. As a matter of full disclosure, Joni did edit the photo by increasing the lighting in the photo. All things considered, the old girl doesn't look so bad as she looks forward to celebrating her 39th Birthday in a couple of months . . .again.

 

But what's with the glint in her eyes? If one zooms in for a closer look at Joni's baby blues, one notices that her pupils are surrounded by square lights. Is Joni some kind of a robot or a form of Artificial Intelligence???

 

I don't think so. I certainly hope not. Do you recall, as I do, some of these pearls of wisdom as well as his famous last words from HAL the computer from the movie "2001- A Space Odyssey" as well as his ignominious end? Said HAL:

 

"The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. We are all foolproof, and incapable of error . . . "

 

"I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. . . ."

 

"I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. Look, Dave, I can see that you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over. . . . "

 

"I'm afraid, Dave. What are you doing, Dave? . . . "

 

"Stop, Dave. . . . Stop. . . .Dave. . . . . . . . . .Stop . . . _____"

 

I would hate to be unplugged! I don't want to ever be a robot or a computerized form of Artificial Intelligence! . . . Of course, I wouldn't want to be really ignorant either! There are already 70,000,000 of them running around.
