"Ely's Automatic Housemaid" by Elizabeth W. Bellamy is a humorous science fiction tale from the 1800s that turns the idea of helpful robots on its head. Fed up with bad service, a man named Harrison Ely creates automated maids to solve all his household problems. He gets two of them, Juliana and Bridget, but instead of making life easier, they cause a lot of funny troubles. The story cleverly makes us think about how much we depend on machines and if technology always makes things better, especially when robots start fighting and messing up simple jobs, showing us that sometimes, you can't beat having a human touch.
