Hi!
Let's start with a quick story (unless you want to go straight to the video posted below):
It's amazing to see all the rapidly changing technology today—as EVERYTHING is taken to levels that just a few years ago would have seemed impossible.
To put it in perspective—years ago I had an elderly relative who talked about her life when she was young. She reminisced about taking a horse and buggy from her home to a town nearby in the early 1900's.
It was only a 12 miles mile (or so) journey, but she related it was an all day trip for her and her family. They'd load up early in the morning—then bounce along a dusty unpaved road to pick up supplies—and start back home in the afternoon/evening before it became to dark to safely travel the unlit roads.
By the time she related this memory to me—there was a 4 lane highway (with a 70 mile per hour speed limit) between her childhood home and the town—and you could drive there and back in less than 30 minutes.

Kids today—who grow up with a cell phone in their hands more powerful than an early computer that filled an entire room—might find it difficult to understand how much technology has changed the world we now live in.
Enter a VERY interesting video showing "Bosstown Dynamics" Testing A Robot.
A disclaimer about it is included below—but you may enjoy this best if you watch the video first.
