A Chicken In Every Pot, A Robot In Every Home

Palm Addict writes "The New York Times report that "South Korea, the world's most wired country, is rushing to turn what sounds like science fiction into everyday life. The government, which succeeded in getting broadband Internet into 72 percent of all households in the last half decade, has marshaled an army of scientists and business leaders to make robots full members of society.""

I apologize for the karma whoring.

Summary misleading.

And not just the summary (as it was copied & pasted verbatim from the article), but the NYT.

I thought on reading the line " to make robots full members of society" that the article was talking about robot rights. However, the article is just about making plans for standard automation & borderline AI over the next 10 years.

I for one am going to await until this company is taken over by the rightful owners of that name before I bother to get excited by robots.
