Robots and love
Skewbrow:
--- Quote from: Deadlywonky on 13 Nov 2011, 00:35 ---If memory serves Asimov had a short story about a robot who was hired as domestic help for a shy woman with a husband who was away a lot and the robot completely redecorated the house, modified the wife's wardrobe to make her fashionable and at the end ensured that when he seduced her he made sure that the curtains were open so that her gossipy neighbors could see. this action ensured that the neighbors tried to keep her involved in their lives.
--- End quote ---
Satisfaction guaranteed?
Deadlywonky:
Bingo, how long did it take you to find that?
Skewbrow:
I did recognize the story right away (having read that collection of short stories many times). Google is your friend. After a couple trials and errors I found a listing of Asimov's collections of short stories. Those in turn had listings (with links) to the individual short stories. May be twenty minutes altogether? Somebody with better google-fu could easily beat that.
Carl-E:
I'd say you're about on par with the average reference librarian.
Is it cold in here?:
I remembered that the robot was called the TN-1, and if you know that then the story is the first Google result for "tn-1 asimov".
As I remember it, the woman was pretty shaken up by it, not necessarily in a good way.
EDIT: Even though it was actually a TN-3.
