Uncanny Valley

There have been several instances recently wherein discussion of androids and robots turned to "when will they get here". And in all those instances I'd been wishing I could remember the work of Dr. Mori to reference when explaining why I think it'll be a while yet. Even if the technology comes along, either we will purposely keep them from utilizing the full potential of the technology, or if we do plow forward there will be a backlash, and an ostracization of the industry until we traverse that uncanny valley.
