"Humans were still not only
the cheapest robots around,
but also, for many tasks,
the only robots that could do the job.
They were self-reproducing robots too.
They showed up and worked
generation after generation;
give them 3000 calories a day
and a few amenities, a little time off,
and a strong jolt of fear,
and you could work them at almost anything.

LOL - what a great quote! But for "Generation z" and later, this is no longer quite true...(most of them wants to be an "influencer"...)
I love your robots!!!
Thanks for the kast warm comments on my blog 😘
Have a wonderful sunday!
Here it's sunny with clouds, but autumnally cool.
Wow! robot and doggie, nice one. Happy Sunday
much love
Such a cool robot, and his dogbot. I've never seen an aging robot, he's a little rusty, like me. (Probably why I like him so much! 🥰) But I thought your text just as cool as your art - it could be our future, and it sounds like they'll at least feed us.
I'm in love with your robot dear friend, can we swap it please?
Super Robot with his dog, great quote too.
A very nice scene, love the rainbow and dogbot a nice touch. Thanks for adding this to SPA, xoxo
A wonderful take on the challenge, Deann, and now I have a new-t-me SF writer to check out. I LOVE good SciFi! And your robot looks more human than some humans I've seen. ;-)
