Doug is a highly advanced robot whose parents want him to be as smart as possible. Every morning, they plug him in and start a massive information download, filling his memory banks with facts about the city. But Doug is curious. He suspects he could learn even more about the world by actually going outside and exploring it firsthand. So, Doug makes a bold decision and unplugs himself! What follows is an exciting day of adventure, freedom, and discovery in the bustling city streets. Doug learns amazing things by doing, seeing, touching, and listening, rather than just downloading data. Most importantly, he learns the value of interacting with a brand new human friend. This funny story of gentle robotic rebellion is a wonderful reminder that sometimes the very best way to learn about the world is to step outside and experience it.
