uses the divide? Well, I think it's the news. The news is doing it. That's some of it. But I think it's also that when things are dangerous, people tend to go to gender roles.

from the back door, they can make the robot go look through your stuff, couldn't they? If you're not home, could our intelligence people take over your robot and then tell it to search through your drawers and find all your crimes? Look through your computer. You could tell it to steal the password from the owner, couldn't you? Because the robot could just observe the password being typed in. Mayb…
