Today in Labor History February 11, 1938: BBC Television produced the world's first ever science fiction television program, an adaptation of a section of the Karel Čapek play R.U.R., that coined the term "robot." He derived the word “robot” from the Czech word for forced labor by Serfs. R.U.R. is an archetype for many of the science fiction stories and films that followed, like Bladerunner, West World and Terminator, and others about robots, replicants and hosts that rebel against humans. However, “R.U.R.,” like Čapek’s 1936 novel “War with the Newts,” is also a satirical critique of totalitarianism, which was already on the rise in Europe at the time he wrote the play.

@pic Es ist eher damit zu rechnen dass die #Rur darin entwässert und das #Grundwasser dort nachsickert, was Jahrhunderte dauern wird bis letzteres den gleichen Pegel wie zuvor hat.
Hinzu kommt, dass die #schwefel|igen #Braunkohle-Reste wohl kaum ein lebensfähiges #Biotop hinterlassen werden...
