I love the sense of entitlement here. "We should have lifechanging robots by now, but even though they're late I still have hope."

I didn't see any entitlement in the grandparent post, only an expression of hope :)

We ARE seeing lifechanging robots (example: Google self driving cars, there are less visible ones, but even my hospital here in Uruguay has one for surgeries). In my visit to BMW's factories, I was amazed by their robots.

They just haven't reached the masses yet, there isn't a Microsoft of robots ("one robot in every house").

Note: Microsoft's original vision "a computer on every desk and in every home, running Microsoft software"
