Isaac Asimov imagined that robota capable of being caretakers of humans would have come, along with colonization of space, by the turn of the century. Too bad he was thinking too far forward in I, Robot:
"Susan Calvin shrugged her shoulders, "Of course, he didn't. That was 1998. By 2002, we had invented the mobile speaking robot which, of course, made all the non-speaking models out of date, and which seemed to be the final straw as far as the non-robot elements were concerned. Most of the world governments banned robot use on Earth for any purpose other than scientific research between 2003 and 2007.""
