Sex and Marriage with Robots by 2050

'Forecast: 'Sex and marriage with robots by 2050.' This may be one of the saddest things I've ever read:

Levy argues that psychologists have identified roughly a dozen basic reasons why people fall in love, "and almost all of them could apply to human-robot relationships. For instance, one thing that prompts people to fall in love are similarities in personality and knowledge, and all of this is programmable. Another reason people are more likely to fall in love is if they know the other person likes them, and that's programmable too."
