That's supposedly how the internet grew as rapidly as it did, yes. I don't buy it for sexy robots though. In order for a robot to be sexier than a blow-up doll they would likely need a level of sophistication that would make them 1) expensive and 2) able to do more valuable tasks. Also, given human nature, someone who could afford a sexy robot could get laid with a human. I don't mean a prostitute either. The real revolution will be robots that can cook, clean and drive (supposing we need drivers by then). Take a look at what a properly trained butler will cost you per year. If you could make a butler robot that costs 100k with a 10 year service life then you'll probably reshape human society.
