Well to pose this ?

Shouldnt the question be posed this way ?

What in your life hasn't been changed by a robot ?

As in todays enviroment I believe that the modern society has little to no understanding in the making design or impact that these little autonamontons have an effect on their day to day live's, nor do they perseive what impact they will have in the very near furture. With several very interesting products coming into existance in the near furture. Who really knows just how far they (robots) can go?

I am guessing as far as we are willing to take them!

though truely I will answer the question as asked.

I do beleive robots will have a great effect on my life in the future with them being used now as a vacume cleaner and lawnmowers already how long before I have my very own robbie the robot.

I want mine to come with its very own, vision system with output via wifi hdtv camera with thermal infra red ultra violet night vision 20 x optical zoom and 1500 x digital zoom. I would like it to also have a video projector so that I can see what they video is seeing or i can use it to display to others.this robbie should have a compleate bose hi def audio system with directional speakers so that I can use the directional microphone to listen to the birds 2000 ft away and let everyone I am with hear it. This little helper would have to be able to have four armsable able to lift up to 1000 lbs combined able to hold the transmission in place while I bolt it into place.it also needs to walk the dog and take out the trash.
