Karel Capek's R.U.R. (1921 AD) |
|
|
|
In 1921, the Czech author Karel more... Capek (pronounced |
|
Chahpek) wrote his best known piece of work, the play |
|
R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), which featured |
|
machines created to simulate human beings. |
|
|
|
Some references state that term "robot" was derived from |
|
the Czech word robota, meaning "work", while others |
|
propose that robota actually means "forced workers" or |
|
"slaves." This latter view would certainly fit the point |
|
that Capek was trying to make, because his robots |
|
eventually rebelled against their creators, ran amok, and |
|
tried to wipe out the human race. |
|
|
|
However, as is usually the case with words, the truth of |
|
the matter is a little more convoluted. In the days when |
|
Czechoslovakia was a feudal society,"robota"referred to |
|
the two or three days of the week that peasants were |
|
obliged to leave their own fields to work without |
|
remuneration on the lands of noblemen. For a long time |
|
after the feudal system had passed away, robota continued |
|
to be used to describe work that one wasn't exactly doing |
|
voluntarily or for fun, while today's younger Czechs and |
|
Slovaks tend to use robota to refer to work that's boring |
|
or uninteresting. |
