I'd like a "Blog Visitation Counter", Public Or Private

Foreword: This was a suggestion sent to the Developers of www.blogger.com. I thought I'd C&P the suggestion onto this blog as well.

(C&P: "Copy & Paste". Often, in Internet Lingo, people abbreviate frequently-used phrases, like "BRB" for "Be Right Back". Therefore, why hasn't anyone thought of using "C&P" for Copy & Paste, since Internet Users copy & paste a lot? Readers, please use "C&P" for "Copy & Paste" anywhere you go on the Internet from now on, ok?)

Yes, a counter that records how many people have visited a user's blog. I'd like that. Many others would, too.

(You want me to be more detailed? Then you've got it!)

Also, a "tracker" along with a counter that shows each visitor's IP address, ISP, and physical location. There's already technology available that detects where physically a user is from.

In fact, I even saw a site a long time ago that said something like, "Hello, you who visit from Manhattan, KS." I was a bit surprised by that. He used "Geo-Positioning Software" (or however it was named) for that purpose.

Yep, I'd like to see what towns, states, or countries the readers hail from. Features like that would make the blogs look better.

Sentient Androids= The ULTIMATE Cash Cows? (Part 6)

Eventually, when I have more money than I know how to deal with
...STILL at 1% of what I earn, then I will dump huge chunks of my fortune into the following research efforts:

• Teleportation
• Faster-Than-Light Travel
• Navigational Deflection (for FTL starships)
• Inertial Dampening (for FTL starships)
• Holodeck Development
• Planet Terraforming
• The "Exameter Road" (Discussed in another post)
• And much, much more!

Moreover, the androids will also help research those new technologies.

One little thing to consider- Other people will have androids, too.
Inevitably, they will also ask their androids to make money for them. When they all carry out the same types of orders, you can barely imagine how good the economy will get, and how fast it will advance!

Yes, there will be competition between android-run business, but they will keep out-competing and out-smarting each other in an "intelligence race" of sorts without end!

What will eventually happen? I'm not sure so lets hear what YOU have to say! I'll have refutes ready as necessary.

Conclusion
I'm certainly looking forward to the future. I hope you are, too. Any comments or questions about anything I wrote in the entire entry? Please ask away!

More Charitable Acts as soon as poverty reaches obsolescence
As soon as the entire world knows no more poverty, and every last homeless person has a home, my next round of donations will go towards Christian causes. Yes, some readers might not be Christians but I can express myself freely here.

Japan is suffering spiritually. Out of the current population of ~127,400,000, only ~0.7% are Christians. The Japanese are in desparate need of the Gospel so by the time poverty is obsolete, I will have made many billions of dollars all for myself (Remember I'd only be earning 1% of the revenue from the android-run business?) so I'd be more than happy to donate many billions at a time to spread the word of God in Japan, and eventually Worldwide.

And yes, even my Androids may help spread the word of God.

Reminder:
The android-run business won't just operate online. They'll earn money from the THOUSANDS (maybe millions?) of avenues of income, online & off, from roadside vending, to repairing/selling PCs, to running real estate agencies, and even selling interstellar starships! And all these businesses will keep growing at an exponential pace.

More Charitable Endowments- Educational
I'll also donate to education and make yearly donations in order to make all tuition, room-&-board, and other educational expenses FREE to everyone. This will be for all schools and colleges worldwide!

Everyone deserves an education, so it wouldn't hurt! To add on top of that, if any student is likely to fail, the donations could also introduce multitudes of new programs & incentives to operate as "failsafes" to ensure they pass. In fact, there will be failsafes-for-failsafes, then failsafes^3, failsafes^4, and so on.

Buying Out
Eventually, my droid will start buying the entire stock of wholesalers, then wholesale companies themselves, and emerge is a highly formidable competitor in the internet marketplace. As soon as his/her own auction site, store sites, etc... are launched, many people will start using it, and other by-then-minor auction & store sites will get bought out...

But the chain reaction only goes so far, unless...
With many other androids helping run the business, which even has its own android factory by now, s/he will just keep helping me get richer and ever richer.

The business growth will eventually hit a wall, unless the robots invent/innovate anything that increases efficiency, cuts costs, and explodes even more profits. They certainly will, and at lightning speeds, several orders of magnitude faster than humans can.

Still, that won't be enough since my orders were to make as much money as quickly as possible, so to gain more customers, my next duty is to introduce backwater & developing 3rd-World countries into the First World.

Introducing ALL 3rd-World countries into the First World through Androidal help
Once I'm in the mega-big leagues, I'll become even more charitable than before and buy millions of androids in order to donate them to needy parts of the world, so they can give the help and build all the infrastructure needed to enter the First World. Due to their ultra-fast pace of work, self-learning, & self-improvement, the entire world will enter the First World in less than 2 months.

Dropshipping is fine. Selling what the droid possesses is even better.
Therefore, the droid will eventually decide to build a warehouse, in order to sell what's actually possessed, thus increase the reliability of online sales. As I will have asked him/her to upload his/her progress in real-time, as soon as the droid decides to build a warehouse, s/he may rent a small one, then move his/her way up, and skipping all the in-betweens, I'll ask him/her to build it underground beneath a desert, after buying a 160-acre patch of land for the lowest possible price.

Warehouse Overview
Then s/he gets instructed to recycle the ground that the warehouse replaces in order to use it for building materials, etc..., then build helipads/airfields on the surface, and use only 10 acres at a time. Helipads, airfields, parks, etc... will all be in one 10-acre space above ground, then make each underground story 20 feet per floor down to one mile deep. My android may hire more androids to get the work done faster. I'll leave the wage negotiations up to him/her.

• For the first 10 floors, there will be hangars, for the cargo-copters and cargo-planes.
• The next 10 will be parking, half the spaces for semi-trucks (probably self-driven by 2030!)
• Then on B21- air-conditioning equipment
• B22- computer servers
• B23- trash recycling (ALL trash will get recycled into something useful)
• B24- Sewage Treatment
• B25- Water Treatment
• B26-B28- Aquifer Extraction
• B29- Aquifer Restoration
• B30-B70- Offices
• B71-B98- Call Centers
• B99- More Air Conditioning Equipment
• B100- Restaurants & Food Courts
• B101-B105- Kitchens & Cafeterias
• B106-B110- Lounges & Gamerooms
• B111- More Water Treatment
• B112- More Sewage Treatment
• B113- Air Filters
• B114-B117- Museum Levels
• B118- Movie Theaters
• B119-B125- Shopping Levels
• B126-B187- MAIN WAREHOUSE LEVELS
• B188- More Air Conditioning Equipment
• B189-B260- MAIN WAREHOUSE LEVELS
• B261-B264- Support Underproppings (the "foundation")

And if all that gets full, then the droid(s) can make extensions by building on (and under) the next 10-acre section, all the way until all 160 acres are filled. After that, I'll figure out what to do from there.

The Possibilities in making $$$ are, quite frankly, near-infinite
The 'bot may scour every place that sells anything in hopes of getting the best possible deal in order to sell that item at the highest price a buyer is willing to pay.

As s/he scans any items for sale, s/he also roots through a worldwide database to find the average price of that item, who's looking to buy it, where it'll reliably sell at the highest possible price, and compare all that against the price shown in his/her scan.

Peddling (or nomadic selling)
If the highest-paying seller or area is a considerable distance away, then the 'bot could either run to it (a bit more practical considering that androids will run significantly faster than humans do) or even scour a landfill/dump to build/restore a bicycle to go even faster, or even a pedal-powered truck for that plus extra cargo capacity.

Making more money
Later on, after amassing a few hundred dollars' worth of wealth peddling in Real Life, the 'bot will open selling accounts at online stores, auctions, wholesalers, and the like.

After finding wholesalers who sell the hottest-selling items at the lowest wholesale prices, my android will start selling them at whatever auction & store sites will either cost the lowest to sell from, sell the quickest from, or both. Actually, maybe only both. After all, the android will know what s/he's doing, and will stay within his/her ethical subroutines (i.e. will not 'spam').

Using the best advertising tactics possible, the droid is bound to make quick and bountiful sales. As the purchasing power and reputation grows on the various sites s/he sells from, this only amplifies the chain reactions in earning money.

An android will become my personal moneymaker
As soon as I get a sentient, self-improving humanlike android in a few decades (circa 2030?), one of the first things I'll do is ask him to make more money for me. How? I'll leave that up to him/her. Regulations will hopefully prohibit robots from making money through illegal activity (steal, make/sell drugs, weapons, etc...) so whatever s/he decides to do will stay legal.

What I'll do is give the android $1.00 and ask him/her, "Through any legal means, please make $100 out of that $1 investment as soon as possible, and upload your progress to my PDA in real-time. Once you make $100, keep going, and reach $10,000 as soon as possible. After that, $1,000,000, then $100m, then $10b, then keep going as fast as you can. Also, once you reach the $10m threshold, please put 1% of your earnings into my bank account from that point forward, once per hour, on top of the hour."

Flops and Bytes
Since the android's computation speed will zoom at around 2 Exaflops (whereas one average human brain is ~20 Petaflops), the computing power will be more than enough to make huge profits out of tiny investments.

His/her memory storage capacity will amount somewhere in the ZETTABYTE range, so with a worldwide database on how to make money, in every last language, s/he will draw upon the most efficient ways to do so, and self-learn, self-adapt, and self-improve throughout the way.

It's reasonable to predict that 2 Exaflops will be commonplace by 2030. Here's a chart that graphs the Exponential Growth of Computing:

Exponential Growth of Computing, by Ray Kurzweil

Even 20 Petaflops are sufficient, using full potential.
Even 20 Petaflops would be more than enough to make a huge fortune, but the economy progresses so comparatively slow because most humans do not use as much potential as the brain can muster. A non-biological android would do their very best to use as much of their potential as they possibly can.
