Expert predicts women will be having more sex with robots than men next year

Next year may be the year of the robot lover. While many increasingly fear automation in the workplace, some futurists predict the machines will come for our love lives in 2025. This new year marks the date futurist Dr Ian Pearson anticipated humanity'will start to see some forms of robot sex appearing in high-income, very wealthy households.' And the physics and math PhD, who has boasted of having an 85 percent accuracy rate for his forecasts, argues women might overtake men in the adoption of sex robots by 2025 -- in part, because they already have a technological head start. 'Vibrators have been around for over a century,' Dr Pearson noted, 'but now the vibrant sex toy industry doesn't just make standalone devices, but teledildonic devices that bring all the fun and functionality of computing and networks to sex too.' First conceived in 1975, 'teledildonics' has become the technical term of art for mechanical sex toys that operate remotely, whether via the internet or otherwise.
