When is a robot not a robot?

The answer to the above question is when you see this:

I started watching that and couldn't believe my eyes, I'm used to seeing things like C3PO or R2-D2 in the movies, but this is something else, in fact it's nearly human!

Just look at the way the little robot nods his head to the instruction received, as though he's human - incredible!!

Watching that makes me realise just how the future could look with plenty of these things taking over the world, Terminator style!

Imagine your own little family robot that would sort out the washing up (for those of us who don't have dishwashers), or even getting them to wash the car, cook the dinner, and bring a can of beer in from the fridge for you - oh that last one has just sold me, they got any on ebay yet????

I can just see it now, ten years time, the top selling Christmas present is this little fella - he is a little dude isn't he?

Come to think of it, it may not even take that long to arrive in the shops!!!

Finally today, just a quick thanks to everyone for following my Daily Banksy blog - I've made it to the half century mark, and to celebrate, I'd like to offer everyone a vitual drink on the house, so choose your drink, away you go, and enjoy!
