No list of androids would be complete without Marvin, the Paranoid Android. The maniacally depressed but hyper intelligent creation of the late Douglas Adams, in the ever popular Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy, Radio Series, Books, TV Series, Computer Game and more recently, Film.

Lesson for IT. No matter how good the technology, if you get the user interface wrong, its full potential will never be realised as the users will reject the system as unworkable. Instead they will go and find a cup of tea.
