I love robots, at least in the movies. Pick a Sci-Fi movie, and I can probably rattle off the name of a whole bunch of nifty robots. Robots that help, robots that work, robots that talk and advise, tell jokes, heal, and of course, robots that torture and KILL. 

I have my favorites for all of these. But that’s the movies. I mean, have you seen the videos from those Boston Dynamics demos? Who the heck would want one of those things running around the house, interacting with your children? My colleague, David Gewirtz, thinks it’s a bad idea.
