In short, how would "I, robot" be written in Latin?
In long - I'm doing a doctorate researching the role of technology in developing higher order thinking skills in secondary students. Part of this involves examining the development of thinking skills through the ages. Descartes famous "cogito, ergo sum" gets a mention - I thought it might be interesting to allude to future human evolution. Plus I've just come back from the latest Wil Smith movie showing in the cinema.

'I, robot' is 'Ego, robotum,'


and

'All of Will Smith's films are utter crap'

is

'Omnes Guillelmi Smithi pelliculae cinematographicae omnino inanes sunt.'smiley - biggrin

Thanks. A colleague of mine was hoping it would be more like his Christian name "Roberto", but there y'go. The second translation is appealing - I might add a paragraph or two about Hollywood as an appendix.

And to conclude with a good Aussie smiley ...smiley - alesmiley - alesmiley - ale
