We all know it, don’t we? Robots are one day, going to replace us in the majority of the work and that might be good news for some and bad news for some. Think about it, you charge your robot in the morning, have him drive you to work, have him do all your chores, not spending single coin, after of course buying, charging and maintaining it, and then he drives you back home, you relax and let the robot charge back up for the next day. That day is still quite some time away, but until he drives you to work, what about he drives you crazy on the dance floor?
