Turns out that Dressler's character was (eventually predictably) entirely wrong...that's just one of the functions that consumer robots of a sophistication greater than that of a Roomba are likely to be aimed at. Leaving aside those who can easily or gingerly satisfied thus by a Roomba.

ReplyDeleteThe picture of Jean Harlow NOT reading reminded me of the final scene in the movie "Dinner at Eight":
Jean Harlow: "I was reading a book the other day--"
Marie Dressler (stumbling in surprise): "You were reading a book?"
Jean Harlow: "Yeah, a real nutty kind of a book. It said that in the future robots are going to take over all human functions."
Marie Dressler: "Oh my dear, I think that's something you will never have to worry about."
That's a great line, Deb.
