I subscribed to the following list and receive a robot a week in email. I'm sharing this one because it's very funny. Some are modern robots and some, like below are history.
In 1936, the first Robot Bookkeeper was apparently created, "eliminating all possible chance of errors" and "giving both sub and grand totals." The figure standing beside the Bookkeeper is not a robot but an actual human being, as evidenced by his expression of wistful obsolescence.
