"However, the idea that general-purpose robots, capable of learning, will become widespread is wrong"

I believe that sometime in the future artificial intelligence will increase exponetially to where a robot would learn very quickly, even human mannerisms. Also there is nothing stopping robot manufacturers of using wireless to allow them to tap into vast resources on how to do something they've never done before. In essence I'm saying that the robot in "I, Robot" is a very real possibility.
