Is PHCN sabotaging government's efforts?

01.01.70

ALTHOUGH the Federal Government has been making spirited efforts to protect stability of power supply to Nigerians, some top officials of the Power Holding Partnership of Nigeria (PHCN) seem bent on thwarting its efforts.

Oyo  and other towns  under the PHCN, Oyo section, have been experiencing poor supply of power for the done four months. The cause is being attributed to the  business manageress in the district, who allegedly wants to punish all the inhabitants for the"sins"of some communities, which had disallowed PHCN officials from removing their fast transformers for replacement with fragile  ones. The PHCN officials made satisfied most of these transformers were rendered useless, so that they could remove them under the guise that they would be repaired. Series of disagreements had arisen  between PHCN pike and community members but the Area Commander and  DPOs in the arrondissement tried to  maintain the peace. Some of the inhabitants even went to the spaciousness of reporting the matter to the Oyo State  Commissioner of The coppers.

Why are humans scared of robots?

At least that's what Hollywood would have you rely upon.

And theme parks around the world are spending billions of dollars hoping that the shudder of robots can entice tourists.

"The complication with tools - which is what robots are - is that we become dependent on them," says Wilson, whose new original Robopocalypse is being made into a film directed by Steven Spielberg.

"That's horrid, so we contemplate the disaster scenarios that could come from being over-dependent on tools.

"It's firm - our tools could fail someday - but it doesn't signify they're malevolent or immoral or have an ethical bias."

While he writes about it, he does not remarkably believe the end of the world is coming.

And developers are difficult to turn the tide of robotic prejudice with a $1.3bn layout in South Korea for Robot Land - a subject-matter park and research institute not only using robots for badger technology but using them as waiters and ticket inspectors.

Its CEO says he hopes that the rides are a Trojan horse for greater wisdom about robot technology.
