I saw this on Gizmodo and had to share it. We sure could have used a Roboplow in Philadelphia this year with the record snowfall we saw.
Though it seems like the weather’s warming up now, think back to February when Mother Nature was piling on the snow with callous indifference. Feel that bitter cold on your face, that strain in your lower back. Now meet RoboPlow.This is the idea that every geek has had, but the guys at IdeaLaboratories were just fed up enough to actually see it through. The RoboPlow sports a 50″ blade, six wheel drive, and a bad attitude when it comes to all things snow.
In fact, watching this formidable machine slice its way through snowbanks, I’m wondering if the RoboPlow isn’t a little too powerful, if we didn’t let this arms race with Mother Nature push us to create a technology that should never have been created. Watching this video and seeing the RoboPlow barrel down the driveway, I felt a nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach that it was just going to keep going into the street, plowing straight on through the traffic.

We’re all guilty of it, some more than others. Tweeting without thinking about the consequences of what we write is almost a right of passage on social media and on Twitter especially. The quick and easy nature of the Twitter makes it a great place to blurt out ideas and thoughts. But beware of what you say – there are almost always some type of consequence.
