Miranda:

O wonder!

How many goodly creatures are 

there here!

How beauteous mankind is! O brave

 new world

That has such people in't!

Prospero:

'Tis new to thee.

The Tempest Act 5, scene 1, 181–184

Shakespeare might write today:

“O brave new world that has such robots in it!”

Robots that are capable of having coitus are not here...yet.

YET!?

YIKES!

Since I am at that ripe (or decomposed) age when sex is not as prominent as it once was,

my carnal knowledge is now mostly memory...

A remembrance of things past.

I am going now more than I am coming.

People talk less and less.

They are too busy using their electronic devices (with an emphasis on the suffix vices).

It is not surprising that one day (soon?) humans who are too busy to talk to each other will turn to their robot companions--- without fuss of foreplay or any communication---to have coitus.

How this will happen is not clear, but our imagination can give us some ideas.

Suzy the Robot:

Human, I am here for your pleasure. Do you wish to begin?

Bob the Human:

Yes, but let me first finish this text.

Suzy the Robot:

Yes, human.

Bob the Human:

Suzy, you can call me Bob.

Suzy the Robot:

Yes, Bob.

Bob the Human:

Thank you.

Suzy the Robot:

At what speed do you wish to go today?

Bob the Human:

Just a second, Suzy, I'll be right with you. I'm still texting.

Suzy the Robot:

Yes, Bob.

Bob the Human:

O.K. I'm ready.

I think fast will be best today since I need to be at work in thirty minutes.

Suzy the Robot:

Yes, Bob.

Do you want my infrared on today?

Bob the Human:

Yes. Infrared. I'm a little stiff from yesterday.

Suzy the Robot:

Yes, Bob.
