Man has been using technology since the dawn of time. Computers are culimonation of many different scientific fields and hundreds of years of advancement. So to complain that we have too much technology is just, well, not very specific or interesting and comes from the mind of a layman with no appreciation for scientific thought. The actual problem is we have too many humans.

A wrong password or error often triggers a lock out so employee contacts boss or IT guy to be unlocked. Malware can be a, 'bot,' that targets end users to lock them out of accounts, steal data, and ultimately money.

@@Jimbogf Nah, if anyone, it's India. China is just the backbone of cheap manufacturing. India is the one with internet access skyrocketing and the fastest economy growth in the world (China has higher GDP, but this is because they inflate it by building useless apartments, etc.) Also, India's booming in tech, which is the industry that's leading the world right now
But Japan is Ok. Still one of the 3 strongest economies. If it was not for the opressing government and the slaves, China would never overcome Japan. When the robotics finally become relevant and affordable for anyone, Japan will return to the second position, after USA. Don't believe in China and India, they are not free countries. It's not just about economy, it's about humam development too. Japan is a very equal country. The people in general are rich, like in USA. The culture plays a very important role too.
0:42 at the beginning is really the only part of the song that sounds great to me. I only play that part of the song everytime I listen to the song. Those keyboards talks sounds so cool...
I'll never forget a Star Trek convention in Portland back in' 97 this song was played as a video tribute featuring the best of Mr.Data.The place went crazy.
@@FrankBarnwell-xi8my Mr. Roboto was a world wide smash hit. You go anywhere in the world and start humming that tune and people will know it right away. That and Babe are their two biggest hits.
I always thought it was their best song. It has that new wave sound of the 80s, it is catchy and the lyrics were prophetic with its warnings about the dangers of technology and how it can dehumanize people which is what is literally happening now. I think what broke up the band was DYoung's insistence on having a Rock Opera concert tour and the other band members thought it was dumb.
@Mathew Paul basically Dennis had taken over and was just doing all his own music. More melodramatic and orchestrated. Less rock. This was kind of the epitome. After the 80s a lot of people mocked the 80s, especially for stuff like this. But now that we’re decades separated…. People can appreciate for what it is. ❤
Brave New World was their last album together. The turmoil of filming Kilroy Was Here tore the band apart. Dennis also suffered a medical condition back then preventing him from touring. Lawrence Gowan was a formidable replacement for both vocals and his piano style plus he proved himself when he fronted the Brave New World tour instead of Dennis.
ummm actually No... I was 8 years old when this came out and even then I got the gist -- "the problems plain to see - too much technology - machines to save our lives - machines dehumanize". Its plainly a cautionary tale, warning of letting robots or AI have too much control
To help people that are reading, this song ( whole album, actually) tells a story! To sum it up, Mr. Roboto is about a famous rock musician named Kilroy who get thrown into prison because in the future America is a dystopia run by fascist tyrants, who outlaw and ban music. This was bad news for Kilroy, because this meant he was to be thrown into prison. Honestly I'm sure there is more to this story but thats the overgeneralised plot. The prison is completely run by, well, robots. Kilroy, (Little fun fact about the album, the title is called "Kilroy Was Here" which in this case has two meanings. One meaning is the reference to one of the first ever "memes" It was used back in the 1940's by soldiers of WWII. The other meaning is of course, referring to our protagonist of this rock opera, Kilroy.) Kilroy knocks out a robot guard when it enters his prison cell, and disguises himself inside the robot. (Hence "Somewhere to hide") Then he manages to escape prison in the suit. Thats why he keeps saying "Thank you" over and over. Thats the story of Mr. Roboto. Its not the whole Kilroy Was Here album, but its a piece of it.
It doesn't end for me, I started singing the lyrics to "Cold War" right on cue. As controversial as the album and the tour were, Dennis DeYoung wrote a futuristic if not timeless story and in doing so broke up the band lol so clearly it's art. If they're not in "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" then I dispute there is such a thing.
AHH es Irratable Brain Mucus, Is That A disease or real, lol just Kidding Styxx Is The Best cuz i have to nuch time on my hands as well! Until someone wants to borrow that $$ that you never see again life is great Biden or who are again, jill who am i typing to, oh sorry.Got to get to my basement sorry!!!!
Back when IBM were big players in the computing scene, before Microsoft Windows came in and changed everything. They’re still successful today just Microsoft definitely came out stronger…
Oh if only we had proper regulations instead of a bunch of old warmongers looking for profit who feared that shit but hypocritically supported it 100%.
It's also hard to believe that Mr. Roboto proved eerily prophetic. The song literally thrust us all into this dystopian, almost futuristic cyberpunk science fiction world.
Not when you were a teen in the 80s. Most of the songs that I'm familiar with are from the 80s, other than "Weird Al" songs, and of course some of those are from the 80s.
Some of the best music ever came from roughly 76-77 to 83-84. Devo, Styx, the Cars, The Police, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Gleaming Spires, Men at Work, and hell, I'll even give Adam Ant an honorable mention 😀
As this song says "The problem's plain to see. Too Much technology. Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize". It's incredible how this verse has too much importance now.
Um. Like holy shit. I was born in the seventies and love this shit. My son was over tonight with his bass guitar playing this, and it made we wanna revisit the past, so I looked this up...... somehow I'VE LISTENED TO THIS SONG MY WHOLE LIFE, but never truly LISTENED.......This comment of yours should be viral. How have I listened to this from fourth grade through my fucking fifties living in the hell scape that is AI and social media, seeing where it's going, seeing that our IDs have no earthly idea what life was like before the screen ruled the world
Whoever wrote the lyrics was ahead of their time in the 1980s - AI & Elon Musk were not trying to rule the world yet- It’s 2024 & our humanity is being threatened by AI + EM s neurolink putting chips in our brains to “upgrade humans” “save our lives?” By “machines dehumanizing “ Machines & chips in head really designed “To keep us alive?” “Forget what you know”
@mamacitabella1759 yea there's a quote about enjoying the music when you're happy, but understanding the lyrics when your sad. Not the same thing, but it makes you think about how much great lyricism is overlooked by the masses because we're too busy consuming everything in site shallowly/superficially
@Jesse Hoffman A lot of people think transhumanist talk is a "conspiracy theory". Bravo. I still don't see many folks on social media ever go anywhere near that topic.
I’m actually blown away Mr robot bought me here. I put on the subtitles absorb the lyrics worked out the meaning and realise that this is actually incredible.
Good one... Even China uses Northern Korean Slave Labor.. Chinese raise their noses in the air, we are now too good to bother making this consumer garbage for export..

Music videos in the 1980s were awesome. They didn't have the technology we have today to make everything look super clean and perfect but they were a lot more creative, they did a lot more with what they had and they usually told a story, they were like short movies.
They had to be awesome. These were the heydays of MTV and everybody watched MTV all day. When artists recorded songs and wanted them to be successful they had to stand out in order to get attention.
When u don't have enough resources, then u think out of the box and that's what called is creativity. There were not enough resources, but there were brains to use unlike today's generation who got a fixed mindset.
@@RVBOY2 Wow. You must have had a poor relationship with your mama she ain't never danced with you as a child. But thanks for trying to make others feel bad!
_"The problem's plain to see... Too much technology! Machines to rule our lives... Machines dehumanize!"_ That one verse is the whole meaning behind the entire album and story!
I like how the song is 100% synth until he says that line and then it switches to analog instruments that are so processed that you can hardly recognize them as natural. It's genius.
Occasionally, a great rock band will veer off into uncharted territory, take risks, and make something that is really weird and really amazing. This entire album from Styx was one of those occasions. We didn't know what the heck we were hearing, but we knew it was awesome.
It's so fucking perfect. Like the lyrics are just a perfect match. And, at the end when he is saying "Thank you for helping me escape when I needed to. Thank you, thank you!" He's thanking 4 entities. Just like in Mr. Robot, the father the mother, the kid, and the mastermind. They helped him escape.
An absolutely prophetic song from 1983 where it tells us about the prominence of robots and artificial intelligence... they saw the future 40 years from now, how great! ... Greetings from 2023 Chiclayo-Peru
Heck yea it is! I remember this one as a kid. I was a science fiction geek and still am, but realize it's not fiction like Elon Musk recently stated. Where did all this knowledge come from that created the 21st century future arriving? We didn't actually realistically expect to see high tech AI driven robots in the real world like we're beginning to see. The first driverless robo taxi without operator controls is set to be announced on August 8th this year. Elon Musk is the super star CEO of all time, but not sure if gonna save America and keep the world a human one that represents the will of the people for it's a global corporation that oversees all the companies, universities, countries, and everyone who was blessed to have great jobs. For the rest of us who speak truth instead of going along with whatever plan, there's not this greatest country we thought was our country for it's the global corporation of WEF.
@@driftmaster2009 Letting go doesn't mean we can't rewatch the show and/or enjoy it in our hearts forever. It just means we gotta accept that was the final season, as sad as that is to admit. ;_;
Those idiots are the little old man behind the curtain not great or powerful. They have ruined society. MILLENNIALS and Z have more sociopaths than any previous generations.
They are genius. See them in concert, with Loverboy and R-E-O. Just did. Broke me, not paid for my comment - just a 30 ish year old with tales from my father. R-E-O ditch the wig, so bad. IMO Styx just pushed their way into my top 5 bands of all time. Avengenge 7 fold, after seeing Disturbed and System of a Down fail. Same theater mind you, prefer the grass area. Avenenge 7n fold did way better than either, and even better than Ozy. Korn and dude with a missing rib are also in my top 5 due to failed Oz fests (not to confuse him with a woman that probably had two xx and one y chromosone - something you probably didn't know about her - Yeah Marilon Monroe was 2/3rds man and 1/3rd woman - look it up. actually find it funny that the "woman" figure of history was more man than woman - so look it up.). Saw Styx from the seats though, hate that. Been in front two rows for Carrie three times. But at whitewater, rather be on the grass. Even if the cheap seats, better. Carrie, was the most talented artist I had ever seen - until saw Styx in person. 70 year olds should never move that way, but so happy I saw them do so against all odds. Best band I have ever seen in person, thank them for that. I will die knowing I saw something I never should have. Bands today, are not the bands of yesteryear. and that is bad to say, but also great. Styx did something not even bands today can do.
That can be said about every 80s band that we cling on for emotional support because we are all still little kids on the inside holding on to that feeling we got when we first heard these songs.
@@RNKel1 Styx and Rush are the same rank as queen. rush did Tom Sawyer and Radio, while Styx did Renegade and Come Sail Away. I actually knew about Styx before Queen.
