What is a robot ?

[Guest]

Now then, I wonder dare I do this, yes another question. What are they doing then ?

Sensible head on then.....

Bots are automated scripts popped out on the t'interweb by search engines like Google yahoo etc.

They drift around the internet indexing all the content for forums, social media sites etc so the search engines can provide this as added content when someone searches for a particular subject.

That's it in a very basic explanation, there's lots more to it than this but I'd bore you senseless.

Its 214923 isn't it ??Or is my base 2 ''spider-sense'' playing up?

Quite right Col. I set up a little spreadsheet to find out and got one of my columns upside down!

So now I want to know just what is so special about 214923!

Tony? Hello? Where has that boy got to? TONY!

Incidentally, did you know there are only 10 types of people in this world?

Those who understand binary and those who don't.

There is a theory (only a theory mind) that there are actually 11 types of people.

Those who understand binary, those who don't understand it and those who have no idea what I'm talking about!

Well thank you all for your input. And I can't believe some are trying to interpret a robot joke - stop now, it's not for mortals like us.

Now I wouldn't dare, but some might be tempted to make a joke about wives and dishwashers - maybe, err I think.....

all secured websites have robots,sometimes they are for greeting people to the site,or with google they use them to count haw many people use a site and then it gets rated,personally they suck if its not a secure site as they can spread viruses and malware worms,is hackers get the code for them,which is easier nowadays with chrome as the elements of pages can be inspected

Colin, we have to know what the robots are saying to each other. You want to end up in a 'Terminator' world if they take over without us noticing?
