Φιλοσοφικό Τηλεγράφημα: Άνθρωποι σκλάβοι των ρομπότ… Πιο κοντά από όσο φαντάζεσαι…
Φιλοσοφικό Τηλεγράφημα του Σπύρου Κάκου [2011-11-14]: Αυτοματοποιημένα προγράμματα χρησιμοποιούνται ως επόπτες των ανθρώπων σε εταιρίες video transcribing και ανάπτυξης λογισμικού [πηγή: web news]. Η τεχνολογία φαίνεται να μην οδηγεί στον παράδεισο που ονειρεύτηκαν οι υποστηρικτές της… Αντί να έχουμε τα ρομπότ να μας υπηρετούν, φαίνεται πως εμείς θα υπηρετούμε αυτά…

Speakertext will continue as a product of Humanoid, which is shifting focus to helping companies with their software development.
