Money talks and it doesn't mince words.
And these days it's saying that all these cutesy-cute robots that pop up in the media are more than just passing fancies for geeky engineers.
It's saying they are the future. They are the next big no-home-is-complete-without-one appliance, out to create a gizmotic splash bigger than all gadgets of the past and present combined. A home robot will be a Walkman that can actually walk, man . . . talk and serve you drinks after dinner (after first cooking that dinner) and then wash up.
