Where Did The Robots Go?

So where are all the robots? For those of you who remember

, where is Rosy from the Jetsons? Well, actually, robotic technology is slowly and quietly becoming integrated into our appliances. The most obvious of these is of course the cell phone, which after all is really just a modified personal computer with a different technology for networking. Cars are becoming more and more sophisticated as I write this, and are even starting to take over a few intervening driving tasks. But mostly, the chips in our washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and dishwashers are meant to monitor and regulate temperatures and such, not save us any more labor than they did as completely analog devices. Robotics is expensive and difficult to program and it will be a while before it becomes common. One question remains though- why is it more difficult to program your cable box and DVD player than it is to operate a personal computer?
