The little window says that there are a 10 members, 35 guests and 9 robots. What is a Robot?

Also, the little box below offers the option of adding a "tag". Does that mean that if I type "Robot" in the box, there's a way to search for the tag, "Robot"?

An internet bot, also known as web robot, WWW robot or simply bot, is a software application that runs automated tasks (scripts) over the Internet. Typically, bots perform tasks that are both simple and structurally repetitive, at a much higher rate than would be possible for a human alone.

Okay...So...what are Robots doing on this website? Are we being watched by "Big Brother"? :eek: :D

More to the point, is a Robot something that would help me use this forum?

A robot is something who can't tell in which windows we find traffic signs.

@Dave L explained it but like someone who knows about technology.
I'll explain it to you like someone who does NOT know technology...

A robot looks for information, on google, for example.

Someone writes in "Who is Jesus?"

The robot looks for the answer...lo and behold, he might pick one of OUR answers.

Nifty, huh?

Ugh!!
I love this...at least we won't actually like them; which I fear many do...

I saw my first robot at the World's Fair in NYC in 1969. It was at the Ford Pavilion.
You asked it a question and it answered you.

I've always wondered if it was a REAL robot, or if someone was behind the display answering the questions.

(of course I was only 1 month old at the time!)

Wonder if this is it?
