signalsThe Terminator

Well it finally happened. Science fiction has now become science fact. It involves a robot attacking a human!
It actually happened in June 2007 at a factory in Sweden, but better writing about it late than never. The robot appeared to be asleep, but came very much alive when the industrial worker approached it. The robot grabbed the worker's head but the man managed to defend himself. He still had sustained serious injuries.
It simply amazes me how technological we have become with gadgets that were once a topic for science fiction movies. Just the past 20 years have seen an acceleration of products available to everyday people. Who imagined having a home computer, the internet, smaller cellphones(the first ones looked like a thick book with an antenna), dvds, etc.?
I know that various forms of robots have been around for years, but the fact that a robot attacks a human has been the topic of many a sci-fi movie for many decades right up to the present. I'm surprised somebody didn't see something like this coming!
