CHINESE GIRL BUYS ROBOT TO DO HER HOMEWORK

A 15-year-old schoolgirl in Harbin, China recently spent $120 (800 yuan) to buy herself a robot that would do her homework for her. The girl was using the robot for writing exercises, in which the student is required to copy passages from a textbook to practice writing Chinese characters. The best way to learn Chinese writing, they say, is by rote repetition. The robot – a robotic arm that holds a pen and paper – could be programmed to do just that. The girl’s mom apparently realized something was amiss when her daughter was able to complete all her homework in just two days, with neat penmanship. The girl’s mother discovered the robot in her daughter’s room and smashed it to teach the girl a lesson.
* She was caught aluminum-handed.
* The next robot will be one that smashes mom.
* Ironically, the 15-year-old Chinese girl was using a robot built in a factory by a 7-year-old Chinese girl.
* Now she has to write, by hand, “It was wrong to buy a writing robot” 100 times.
* A robot that writes things hundreds of times. It’s called the Bart Simpson Chalkboard model.
