In movies and in television the robots are always evil. I guess I am not into the whole brooding cyberpunk dystopia thing.
Right now, I think robots are where it's at. And yes, I'm biased. Robots and space, because with home rocket kits and Lego Mindstorm sets, people can get involved. I was raised on Transformers and GoBots, so I can't imagine what kids who are building real robots are dreaming about.
You don't want to stand too close to a robot arm; it can turn your head to mush.
You probably found 'How to Survive a Robot Uprising' in the humor section. Let's just hope that is where it belongs.
Personally, I'm not afraid of a robot uprising. The benefits far outweigh the threats.
You want to know what a robot's designed for. And if it's doing something outside the scope of what it's made to do, you should be very suspicious.
