HW 1: Three Fictional Robots


Your assignment is to write about your own and two others' favorite robots from fiction.  It could be a robot from a story you/they once read, a movie, a TV show, a comic book...anywhere in fiction!

For each robot, write 100 words about what (or who?!) the robot is, who made it (in their fictional world) what it was supposed to do, good/bad robot...you get the idea.  Make sure you talk about why they remember that robot.  You can pick your own favorite for one of them, one of the other two must come from a parent or someone in an older generation like an older cousin or neighbor.  The third can be a friend or anyone else you choose.

Again, for each robot, you need to write 100 words (each!).  Be descriptive, give me the cool stuff, I want to know why these are the favorites!




You'll soon find that robots seem to have 'personality' quite a bit in fiction...one of the questions we will answer in this course, is do they in real life too?

(Oh and that's Data, from Star Trek...he's my pick=)
