Well, sadly it’s come to this.
Technology is taking over every aspect of our lives including our enjoyment (and safety) at the beach.
Imagine Baywatch with EMILY (for EMergency Integrated Lifesaving lanYard) instead of Pam. Sad. :(
Vodpod videos no longer available.Here’s a good post from POPSCI about how EMILY is “ruining” our lives.

Such a plain-looking robot de-eroticizes the beach. But if it could save lives, why not?
That would be just my luck. I go out there and pretend to be in distress, and some glorified surfboard comes out and squawks at me, probably with a synthesized male voice.
