Worlds First Elastic Electric/Data/USB Cables

This is Roboden the World's First Elastic Electric, Data and USB CableS developed by Asahi Kasei Fibers. "We manufacture Spandex, an elastic textile, so we make fabrics that expand and contract to fit the human body. As a result, we know that human skin can stretch by a factor of 1.5. So we thought, if we can make a cable that stretches by a factor of 1.5, it could be used for wearable electronics, or for wiring the skin of humanoid robots. Those were the future applications we had in mind when we began development."

World's Greatest Robot Show 2011

Will there be any greatest robots or androids coming than this? Will you prefer robots to do all the things you want in a day? Wake up by an alarm robot and have already made you a hot cup of coffee mixed with a teaspoon of stevia and a tray of toasted bread from the robot's tummy :-). A robot to open the shower for you and choose what you probably wear for the day.
A robot that will wash the dishes and look after your feline or canine friends at home (the only non-robotic in the house).  How far can we ask for from a robot to outsource all the jobs we want done in a day or months when we want to getaway? I think it's roboticrazy world when we replace our brain up-side down by robots. Just a little thought.
