Re: Questions at demos

At the JPL Open House, we were asked a (in my opinion) really dumb question:

"What is it?" Just plain "what is it?", not "what does it do?" or "what is it for?"

And we were asked this several times by several different people. And this was at a place (JPL) where technically inclined people go! That day my overall view of the general public really went down on the technical competancy meter. It's like, the big sign says "FIRST ROBOTICS" and you got here using your map that lead you to the "FIRST Robotics Demonstration" and you are inside an institute that is famous for building robots! How can you ask "what is it?" !!!!!
