// 27 Year Stewardship
For twenty-seven years, I have patiently and proactively stewarded Androids.com. For twenty-six of those years, humanoid androids existed mostly as dreams in the minds of researchers, scientists and storytellers. The technology simply was not ready. So I operated this website with patience and a deep sense of responsibility, believing that one day Androids could become something truly meaningful for humanity.
That day has arrived.
The technology is now blossoming at breathtaking speed. What once seemed decades away is unfolding before our eyes in 2026...
This is my vision
I want Androids.com to become humanity's trusted lighthouse in the Android Age.
Androids Origin/History
- Android (Greek: "man-like") =humanoid robot/automaton.
- First recorded 1720s ("androides") for mechanical humanoids.
- 1730s–1830s: dictionaries, patents, literature.
- 1886: sci-fi debut (Tomorrow's Eve).
- 1930s: pulp fiction (fleshy android vs. robot).
