Well, if you come, I will let you in for free because, you know, you and I are friends and I'd really like you to go.

If you can't come, I'm disappointed in you.

We'll meet you at Dragon Con.

Just chose that at random.

All right, so I guess Christian's going last.

Okay, Jay, let me see here.

So we've got the Hitchbot that did a bunch of hiking.

The second one, what is this, a movie?

First mechanical robot in science fiction is given to the 1826 short story, The Sandman, in which the protagonist mistakes robot for a live woman.

And falls in love.

Yeah, I mean, this is where robots are heading now, Steve, so I think this is very timely.

I think people are going to be falling in love with chatbots and robots in the near future.

But did this actually happen?

I don't know.

Let me move on to the third one.

The word robot was introduced in the 1920 play R.U.R., Rossman's Universal Robots, in which mechanical robot workers rise up against their human masters.

Bottom line is, I don't think that the third one is correct.

I don't think that's where the word came from.

I remember discussing with you guys where that word came from.

Specifically, we had a discussion exactly about that.
