About This Program

Alicetronic 3000 is an episode‑style programme that forms part of the larger Alicetronic series. It is presented as a self‑contained instalment, labelled as an “episode” within the overall format, and its title identifies it as the 3000th entry in the line‑up. The central storyline follows Alice, a technically‑savvy individual who designs and assembles her own robot. After the machine is completed, she begins to feel uneasy, worrying that the creation could eventually supplant her in whatever role she currently occupies. Throughout the episode, the narrative concentrates on Alice’s internal struggle as she watches the robot operate. Her apprehension stems from the possibility that the artificial assistant might outshine her, leading her to question whether her own skills will still be needed once the robot is fully functional. By the close of the instalment, the tension between creator and creation remains unresolved, leaving Alice to grapple with the prospect that the very invention she brought to life could end up taking her place. The episode thus frames a concise yet thought‑provoking scenario in which technological advancement collides with personal insecurity.
