Arthur Askey is on a distinguished road
Default The Robot Uprising Turns 70

Yesterday was the 70th anniversary of science fiction on television.

On Feb. 11, 1938, the BBC broadcast its adaptation of a section of the Karel
Capek play R.U.R., about androids that rise up against their human
creators. Capek's play is the origin of the word "robot," which comes
from the Slovak work "robota," meaning work.
