More on fictional robots

In my post of December 19th, I reflect upon household robots such as Asimo. This article in Popular Mechanics features Daniel H. Wilson doing a little Q & A on robotics and how our fictional views on the subject have not been fulfilled.

The dialog is a frank and sober reflection on more than just robots in our speculative fiction. He expands the scope of his discussion to jet packs and X-ray specs. it's a fun read and challenges writers of speculative fiction to keep it up.
