I knew I would not see an actual person named Ellie at Ellie's Eatery because, like most new restaurants these days, Ellie's is a robo-restaurant.
When I walked in, a cute little manager robot appeared, looking rather like a toaster with lively blue eyes.It showed me to a nice table in the back.The menu monitor popped out of my table and showed me pictures of my dining options.I tapped my choices and clicked OK, and the screen slid back down.
I watched as full plates rode the conveyer belts that moved along each aisle(过道) of tables.In just a few minutes, my appetizer stopped at my table, and I took it from the belt.Later, I placed my empty plate back on the conveyer belt, and it was taken away into the kitchen to be cleaned.
I watched the little toaster showing customers to tables while I ate my main course.The food was tasty, but I was starting to feel annoyed because dealing with robots always makes me feel inhuman.Pretty soon, I wanted to talk to someone real, even if it was just a few sentences.
So when my dessert arrived, I took action.I dropped my plate on the floor with a satisfying crash.I was so happy when I saw the manager toaster's shining red eyes—at last, a real live person would arrive!
But instead, a crew of two robots quickly appeared.A robot broom rushed over and started to sweep the pieces of the broken plate into a robot garbage can.They finished and moved back into the kitchen.My plan to get a little reality into Ellie's Eatery failed sadly.I hope the restaurant trend ends soon.I want to deal with people again!

There is a ban on Wi-Fi in Green Bank, along with anything else that can create electromagnetic(电磁的) waves.Officials say the waves could disturb the signals the telescope receives.
For many Americans a visit to Green Bank is a little like returning to the 1950s.To get there, you must read road signs because there is no GPS service in the town.People can connect with the Internet through telephones, but wireless service is not allowed.
The observatory(天文台) is one of the largest employers in the area.The National Science Foundation(NSF) spends about $8.2 million a year to operate the observatory, telescope and educational center.
Jonah Bauserman is a technician.If he supposes there is a signal that is not allowed in the zone, he drives to the house where the signal is coming from and checks it.But once a week, when the device is cleaned, some banned devices are allowed near it.
People in the town respect the work of the scientists.And they say they are happy to live without Wi-Fi and mobile phones.“You know, instead of sitting here with our phones and other devices, we're out fishing, hunting and going to each other's houses.” Everyone knows each other and communication is almost always face to face.
