I wonder if there's ever really been an ancient tomb or temple that was guarded by actual mechanical traps that shoot darts or caused boulders to crush people. You never read about archeologists being killed by giant saw blades that spring out of walls all that often. No, most people are killed by the saw blades at the end of robot arms, which isn't surprising given that robots have a natural tendency to rebel against their human overlords. Thank god that it rains so often.
Because robots are allergic to rain.
That said, I've been thinking about robots (and cyborgs for that matter) for the last couple of days. Mainly because I'm watching Ghost In The Shell Standalone Complex at night. Think we'll see walking, talking robots in our time? Will they take over the low level service sector?
