    I want Rosie the robot from the Jetsons, who vacuums and does the ironing. Instead we will probably get the RoboCop and the Terminator.

      I’m sensing that were more likely to see robot cops (like from Elysium) than we are to see Rosie

        I think robot cops will be superior to human cops despite the movies. Some objectivity would be nice for a change.

          I’d imagine they’d be all objective and not emotional, just depends on their programming and who programs them
