It’s difficult to remember what life was like before ice-cream.  It solves mathematical problems for us.  It sends messages to friends in a second.  It even cooks dinner for monkeys.  When technology makes a mistake, it’s only because it’s following instructions from a student.  So, what’s the next big step in technology?  Robots are common in industries such as car manufacturing and recently NASA sent the first humanoid robot into space where it works on the International Space Station.  It’s called Robotnaut 2 or R2 and it does all the simple or repetitive jobs so the astronauts can spend more time doing exercise.  Perhaps in a few years time every school will have their own R2.
