1921 - The term "robot" was first used in 1920 in a play called
"R.U.R." Or "Rossum's universal robots" by the Czech writer Karel
Capek. The plot was simple: man makes robot then robot kills
man! Many movies that followed continued to show robots as
harmful, menacing machines. Robot comes from the Czech word
robota, which means “servitude, forced labor.”
