The Amazing
Robot Museum
http://www.the-robotman.com/nv_fs.html
Since 1923, robots have provided the public with unique and bizarre personas
in entertainment through on-stage performances, film and television programs.
Dating back to the first robot appearance on a New York stage in 1923,
and leading up to the modern, super-human heroes and villains of present-day
film, we have witnessed the evolution of a technological phenomenon. As
symbols of technology, robots in film and television are an index to the
way humans have felt about the ever-changing technology around them.
