Read the short story "Little Lost Robot" from I, Robot. Then write an essay answering the question below. I expect approximately 3-4 pages. Your essay may be shorter or longer as you see fit, as long as you answer the question fully.

The titular robot was modified in order to solve a problem, but that modification had unintended consequences. Describe the modification that was made and the unintended consequences that resulted. Then describe two experiences you have had this semester in which you made a programming or design decision that had unintended consequences that were so severe that they kept the robot from even remotely functioning properly. Conclude by comparing and contrasting the thought process behind the unintended consequences for the Little Lost Robot with those behind your own unintended consequences.
