Do you know the movie I, Robot? It tells us a story about the future.
The year is 2035 and robots are just as common as mobile phones. People depend_on their robots to do lots of things, for example, babysitting, cooking, doing chores and taking their dogs for a walk. Robots have to follow humans' orders, because humans make them do so. A police officer called Spooner dislikes robots. He doesn't think humans can get on well with their robots at all! But the scientist Susan has different ideas. Susan works on robots' mind and she thinks one day robots will become stronger than humans and help humans to get better.
When Spooner and Susan work together, they find that something is wrong with the world's robots. A few robots have their own thoughts and they're trying to get out of humans' control(控制)! Of course these robots' dream doesn't come true. Humans work hard to control their robots again and they succeed at last.
