What is "mobiles"

Usage examples of "mobiles".

The newly awakened intelligence had made all its mobiles alike: probably because it didn’t understand the concept of otherness yet.

But she ran out of these long before she ran out of mobiles, and shortly the computer types were joined by Toms, Dicks and Harrys, not to mention Georges, Roberts, Richards, Carolyns, and any other name she could think of.

One of the tall, leggy mobiles, a storkish one that she remembered naming Beanpole, said, “Why should we run down?

Another of the mobiles, one of the first ones she had named, a stocky one called Monitor, said, “There is something wrong with the energy in this universe.

More and more of the mobiles drifted into it, until Dairine was surrounded by a crowd of the robots she had built the most dataprocessing ability into.

But the restructuring that the mobiles were discussing wasn’t temporary.

The proposal was an efficient one, and the mobiles had inherited the ‘Manual’ program’s fondness for efficiency.

That laughter was running as almost a constant undercurrent to her thoughts now, as all of the thinker mobiles gathered together and began their work.

She had designed the mobiles to last, in heavier gravity than this and at great pressures.

No matter anyway: demonstrating death to the mobiles would be the best way to convince them to remove entropy from the scheme of things.

The mobiles could process data faster than the fastest supercomputers on Earth.

But it was part of the data, and it was too late now: the motherboard had it, and all the mobiles would have it too, the second she released Dairine.

Any minute now the mobiles would start the program running and entropy would freeze, and life would stop being a word that had a meaning.

The motherboard was pouring data into her as it had poured it into the mobiles under Dairine’s tutelage: but not the mercifully condensed version of the manual programming that it had given them.

She stood, using one of the big heavy-work mobiles to lean against after she hauled herself back to her feet.
