Funny thing- my 17 year old son began working with me. At first he thought it was fun, then as time went on & I began to expect more out of him (by learning the basics of what we do) he let me know that this was hard work & there was too much to learn- he thought fixing lifts was going to be "easy" - after all- hard could it be?

Easy- that's all the younger generation wants (& if the local school district is any indication- all they're taught -that life's easy).

Fact of the week
The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
