For the time period, that’s astonishing. We see so much stuff on the internet and on TV that we’re often desensitized to things that truly are incredible.

I live a few miles away from the Bowes Museum. I remember my parents taking me to see it when I was 9 or 10. I wasn’t impressed.

This is interesting because it defies our concept of mechanical abilities 235 years ago. 235 years from now – if humans are still around – they’ll be sitting on piles of leftover mechanical and plastic garbage, and won’t be so interested in our 12-inch Japanese girlfriend robots.

Robots being built today will not be working in 235 years because today’s smarter robot will have saved up enough for retirement, unlike its bird-brained predecessor.
