  1. Interesting video. Thanks for reminding us about the horrible past and the world of indentured servitude (slavery) that humanity suffered through to make a few people wealthy for thousands of years. It's interesting that alot of these robot slave laborers have smiles on their faces. This kind of work was nothing to smile about
