A tech too far?
The Independent reported yesterday that the world's first electronic wedding had been conducted on the roof of a Tokyo restaurant by a £47k robot named I-Fairy.
I regularly blog about the virtues of technology and how the likes of Twitter and online news websites have transformed the way we consume media, but even this seems a touch over the top.
I appreciate people want their big day to be memorable, but having your wedding officiated by a jazzed up ventriloquist's dummy (the robot was operated by a bloke hiding behind a black curtain) seems like a step backwards to me.
Most advances in technology are designed to facilitate communication between humans, but this seems to create a clumpy, expensive barrier.
Some things are best left to living, breathing humans.
