Passage:
" I'm doing it! It's the six-way order. Under all ordinary conditions, one or more of the 'fingers' would be doing routine tasks requiring no close supervision-in the sort of offhand way our bodies handle the routine walking motions. But in an emergency, all six subsidiaries must be mobilized immediately and simultaneously. Dave must handle six robots at a time and something gives. The rest was easy. Any decrease in initiative required, such as the arrival of humans, snaps him back. So I destroyed one of the robots. When I did, he was transmitting only five-way orders. Initiative decreases- he's normal." (Pg. 89)
Response:
This quote from the fourth chapter of I, ROBOT, which shows Powell and Donovan on an asteroid station overlooking the robot model DV-5, nick named Dave and a leader of his robot model DV ore mining team. Dave described he can control six robots through the radio easy as control the fingers, but at last some thing has goes wrong with the robots, Dave couldn't handle six different radio frequencies at same time. Powell came up with an idea that to destroy one of those robots to help Dave easier to handle his robots. The future world of this novel aren't look easy than what I have predicted.
Analysis:
In this chapter, author Isaac Asimov has again achieved his goal by shows the creative realistic idea of how the future world should look like. He built up another planet (asteroid), which could extend space for human and robots and that planet could plays a big role in economy with the mining.
