i, robot benches
i work in an industrial area down on the fraser river (vancouver, bc). before i had purchased my car, there were many mornings i would miss my bus, which unfortunately ran once an hour. so quite often, i would hop onto the skytrain to columbia to grab some coffee while waiting. i've walked down columbia street (new westminster) many times, but i had never really noticed the "robotic benches" as i call them.

robot bench #1

robot bench #2

robot bench #3

i was never able to get a picture of the last bench. it had the third rule on it, but every morning i was there i would see the same man sitting there with a coffee. being as i'm kind of shy, i never did ask him if he would move so i could get a picture. maybe one day i'll go back and get better pictures of all them.

Isaac Asimov must be so proud that his work is displayed where people put their asses.

That is so random and cool. Thank you for posting this, I happen to be reading a Robot Book right now, The Positronic Man on which the movie Bicentenial Man was based.

it had will smith in it but the "it being bad" point still stands.

i mean what kind of will smith movie doesnt have the phrase "welcome to earth" followed by punching something in it?

I enjoyed the book.
The movie should have been called something else, IMO. It was almost but not quite entirely unlike the book.
