How They Sold Us On Robots

To support my efforts to create more clips please donate to me at www.patreon.com/allinaday. As those of you who are my colleagues and subscribers know, I have collected films that I thought were of historical value for a very long time. I use clips from them in my documentaries. Back when I was a kid in the 1950s, I loved robots.

I like how they used to say "robutt" or "robitt" instead of "row-bawt" like we say today. 😄

Professor Farnsworth would agree.

No no you got it wrong. They use to say rabbit.

[@NoriMori1992]

Maybe that's how it was pronounced in "Rossum's Universal Robots", the play that coined the word.

Great piece of techno-history. Thank you.

We have a powerful tendency to anthropomorphize things, apparently.

Awesome! Where do I buy it? I want one!

Fascinating how much the robots developed during the last 70 years and even more fascinating when you think about the robots we will have in 70 years.

[@mroak6504]

I wonder how many kids back them actually believed there were robots in a bunch of machine mechanisms.

Where is my flying car?
