How to use inanimate in a sentence?
Bruce Sterling, The Hacker Crackdown:
Unlike human beings, computers possess the truly profound stupidity of the inanimate.
Inanimate objects are classified scientifically into three major categories - those that don't work, those that break down and those that get lost.
Once you’ve told your home when the car is (for instance)within 20 feet of the house to please open the garage door, put the lights on, turn the alarm off, move the thermostat up, you can have those inanimate objects, the home and your car, really taking care of you.
It's about vehicles talking to vehicles and vehicles talking to infrastructure. It's about moving closer to self-driving vehicles, it's about this working with your home, it's about inanimate objects taking care of you versus you taking care of them.
The aim of sadism is to transform a man into a thng, something animate into something inanimate, since by complete and absolute control the living loses one essential quality of life-freedom.
