How to Date an Android, Chapter 2

History of Android Birth and Progress in Earth including events that affected Android research and development...

By 2025 the first android was released to the public for public market. Of course it's a joint project between Mitsubishi and Toshiba Corporations. Soon after they had a merger and it was announced they would be bringing in people from their heavy industries branch, which was seeing less business for portable ocean hatchery farm ships since the Koreans were undercutting them for competition.

The 2030s see a flurry of new activity to build the best androids as interest and acceptance of domestic androids improves, with stiff competition between Germany, the Japanese, and the Russians. Naturally, the Americans have long ago sold their industries to India and China and don't have the infrastructure left to be able to participate in the arms race. But they do spend more than the others and come in through the back door of buying them from the Germans and the Japanese in an effort to stop the Russians from threatening to take push its border farther into Israel and Saudi Arabia where their front line currently resides.

Problems with corporation dominance still continue to choke and restrict the ability of developed countries to keep a middle class during this time, which is necessary for the market to be able to sustain androids being able to be paid for because of the high amount of technology and resources involved. Rather than any moral dilemma, it's become the lack of economic infrastructure that continues to be the biggest barrier to mass acceptance of androids though there are a significant number of hate groups.

While society digresses, corporations continue to progress but keep all the benefits of wealth and a higher society to themselves. Some countries like Britain, the U.S., and Canada with corrupt politicians live on the edge of anarchy, the rise of mass numbers of people living in gangs and drug culture, and encountering failing utilities as an everyday common place occurrence.

While Germany and Russia had been working on having their military androids of heavy metal exoskeletons up until the mid 2030s, the Japanese are so poor and scorned by the military giant Neo-Korea under the North Korean regime, that took over their whole peninsula, that they legalize combining android research with stem cell research and into the concept of bio-organic androids.

Mass protests and rioting occur in Japan, the U.S., and Canada over racist claims that Japan should be willing to produce bio-organic androids that have any ethnicity and not just a Japanese look and skin accusing Japan of mass racism.

After a world conference of engineers only a short time later, Mistubishi announces it has been working on and developed the technology necessary for not only metal exoskeleton androids but also forming another branch of androids entirely consisting of and combining non-organic materials like plastics, plasteel, ceramics, and simulated fake androids that look human but that don't use organic tissue or cloned technology, and a third branch consisting of androids produced through bio-organic and cloning technology which will be undistinguishable from humans with the naked eye.

A flurry of military espionage takes place among the other developed countries to seize the new research forcing Japan to become a military superpower almost overnight through android focus in arms. Countries that lack android power lose superpower status and Russia expands its borders southward swallowing up several dozen countries around India, China, and others with its border closing right up next to Israel and Saudi Arabi on the west, India in the South, and China on the east.
