"Animal Farm" concept in Robot Revolution

[Androids101]

I read the book "Animal farm" for first quater this year and it got me thinking about the robotic revolution, the concept is the Russian Revolution and would it lead the same way only with the robots? Or will the end be different?

I've read that book!! It was in Year 5 or 6 - we studied that book as a class, and afterwards some kids didn't "get" the book - they thought it just a story about animals attempting to run the farm. It was great - I enjoyed it

(And I just realised the new smiley - Tezuka!)

What was your opinion on the book and it's concept?

It was kind of interesting the way George Orwell interpreted communism in "animalism" - and how they overthrew the owner, Mr. Jones, before the pigs took control with their so-called "intelligence". And it pleases the smaller kids more than another boring lecture on history, too... many of my classmates read that book when they were small.

...but I never read it 'til then

Why so young? That's rather redundant but for the robotic revolution?

I read this, but more than a few years ago, so I might unintentionally merge concepts of 1984 into my analysis. The s assumed leadership, as they were the most intelligent, as I recall. I think that if there ever could be a robot revolution, the robots would by necessity have all the intellectual qualities necessary to divide themselves into classes. They might accept their stations in life based upon their designs; that is, industrial robots Vs. humanoid, WATSON, HAL 9000, MOTHER, COLOSSUS, etc. BTW, I understand that COLOSSUS THE FORBIN PROJECT is planned for remake.

There was an Asimov short story about some robots who, after thinking about it, determined that THEY were human, & proceeded to take over.
