Because of that first traffic robot, within two years, Kinshasa was able to join the modern world and compete in the global market. The city of Kinshasa was plagued by traffic so severe that its very economy was affected. It really was like something out of a classic sci-fi flick with its swiveling waist, long dexterous robot arms, and large round eyes that housed the six cameras located behind them. Standing at 8 feet tall, its bright silver robot body cemented in a concrete platform and shining in the sun, the solar-powered traffic robot was anything but rusty. “But we all felt like we were part of the future standing there, sweating in the pounding sunshine and staring at it.” “The thing looked crazy,” my father said.

But the sad truth was that the bit of news, for all its absurdity, also deserved the designation. Breaking news is typically the stuff of shock, its revelations suggesting a rupture in the assumed order of things-and this was, after all, an update about face fabric. The announcement would not seem, at first glance, to merit the urgency.
