I don’t know any personally-yet. The possibility interests me from a sci-fi reader’s point of view.I don’t think I would mind as long as the 3 laws were properly installed and enforced.

Question by charchar88: When do you think androids/robots will be as common as cars?
I’m curious, I remember when I was 8 (1995) people were saying by 2010 we’ll have humanoid robots with AI to do simple jobs such as housecleaning and fast food ect. Clearly that isn’t any time soon and it’s 2008. Any one have an idea when it will be a reality like in the movie “I robot” or C3PO in star wars if anyone has seen it. Anyone have any insight?

I’m guessing 2040 at the latest.

Q&A: Would you like to agree with me?

Question by agent: Would you like to agree with me?
The situations in the movies “I Robot”, “AI”, “The Terminator”, and “The Matrix” reflect the future of the world. They are not just any setting for story and action purposes. They are somewhat a reminder to all that these possibilites may happen in the near future, AND, it is more becoming possible because today we’ve heard of ANDROIDS who can imitate movements and speech of man.
Now, would you agree with me if I say that the movies stated above are NOT warnings so that we may be able to prevent such possibilites, BUT, they are reality that WILL really happen in the future.
With the above movies stated, I say, the first situation that would happen is the “AI”, next is “I Robot”, then, “The Terminator”, finally, “The Matrix”.
So… If ever you’ve asked on how the world would end, watch “The Matrix”, understand it, and you’ll know how horrible the world would end.

No, I wouldn’t agree. Don’t take the cinema so seriously.

These synthetic creatures have a surprising appeal– and range from early automatons to Lara Croft and the Stepford Wives to today’s female robots that look so real they can easily fool the eye.
