Robots? Really?

Ok, I know this doesn't have much to do with the education world (that is, unless you teach technology - like myself), but I have to comment on the article I just read.  It was posted on the ReadWrite blog through my RSS feed and shows images of the Google I/O after hours party having robots doing different tasks.  The article was called "Forget Self Driving Cars, These Robots Will Make You A Drink".  There are robots mixing drinks for attendee's at this party, entertaining by playing the drums, and even getting into a boxing match!  I have to say that this is somewhat scary.  Why in the world would I want to watch a robot playing the drums?  Where is the excitement of watching someone truly talented?  Where is the social interaction with bartenders?  I wouldn't want robots serving my drinks.  It is amazing how far technology has come, but this freaks me out...
