Aluminium dropped in price because a process was introduced that could smelt it properly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium#History
>Before the Hall-Héroult process was developed in the late 1880s, aluminium was exceedingly difficult to extract from its various ores. This made pure aluminium more valuable than gold.[46] Bars of aluminium were exhibited at the Exposition Universelle of 1855.[47] Napoleon III, Emperor of France, is reputed to have given a banquet where the most honoured guests were given aluminium utensils, while the others made do with gold.[48][49]

This is something that comes up a lot, but no one has ever given me a proper answer; rebellion might not be an issue of sentience, but of biology and the way our own human/animal brains are programmed. WHY would a robot rebel? Does it have an ego? Does it not like having masters? Why? Is this something that occurs naturally with sentience? If so, why is it unthinkable we could circumvent it?
