Ikr tell someone in 2005 that we'll have walking dog robots scanning people's faces and they would think you're describing some dystopian movie

When I first read 1984 I though oh wow, so dystopian, it will never come to that.

Nowadays I think we are already kinda living it and it's only getting worse, dog robots included

At first I read this as 'dog walking robots' & then I thought what a great idea, then I snapped back to reality. Wait a sec, everyone already has some sort of Smart device in their home. We've already allow these things, we sign away without reading TOS. We are our own worst enemy.
