The city of Techtropolis was on a roll like always. Factories were making nothing more than laptops, phones & tablets, and parents were teaching their kids to make robots. Every single household in the city was dedicated to making robots. This city was one-of-its-kind. And that day wasn’t far when the entire city would become controlled by robots.

There were no doctors, no dentists,  etc. This city did not need humans to do this; they made robots. Every single house had 3 robots. One robo-doctor, one robo-dentist and one robo-nanny. When robberies were rampant in this city, the robo-cop would come. All the criminals would be taken to Robotics Court.

Techtropolis had a population of both humans and robots. One could never leave this city upon entering it. Robo-guards hypnotized all humans. One day, a robo-nanny got a virus from one of the laptops. This virus was spreading quickly. It affected humans and robots. Humans were hypnotized no more, and the robots were no longer working.  This city was finished with robots, and humans were now in charge. Humans never made robots again.
