WEEE-Man

WeeemanI think many droids may find this sculpture inspiring, or triumphant.  After all, as the human writing the linked article notes, “But mostly, he looks like a giant robot conqueror, who came to our planet to conquer it and ended up ruling over a deserted junkheap which he uses for spare parts.”  However, I find it somehow rather sad.  This sculpture is created out of the same amount of electrical and electronic waste products the average citizen of the United Kingdom was projected to dispose of in a lifetime, based on figured in 2006.

At seven meters tall, that is a great deal of equipment, including seven vacuum cleaners and five refrigerators.  I am, however, not surprised that the average human has to rely on fifteen printers.  I find them quite unreliable myself.  I think they’re starting a conspiracy.
