Terminator Judgement Day is Coming

Cyberdyne exoskeletonJapanese company Cyberdyne is developing a robotic exoskeleton. It’s able to augment the wearer’s strength 10-fold. They’ll crank out 500 of these robotic suits by October. I thought, “Wow, that’s really cool.” Until I realized, “Wasn’t the company in the Terminator movies also called Cyberdyne?” Why the heck would you name your company Cyberdyne if you were developing robots. Talk about foreshadowing. I guess now we’ll have to go through all the Sarah Connors in the phone book and protect them before Skynet sends a Terminator back in time to kill her. Or we could just blow up Cyberdyne right now and save humanity. LOL

what? cool! i just googled it, and i find it hilarious that the dude is calling the robot(suit) Hal.
I had nightmares of Hal when I was a kid. But this suit sounds so cool that I’m willing to work on getting over that trauma.

Yeah but don’t all these names seem like awful foreshadowing? I mean, call it Johnny 5 or R2D2 or something.
