Small Wonder is an American comedy science fictionsitcom that aired in first-run syndication from September 7, 1985 to May 20, 1989. The show chronicles the family of a robotics engineer who secretly creates a robot modeled after a human girl, then tries to pass it off as their adopted daughter.
Premise
The story lines revolve around V.I.C.I. (an acronym for Voice Input Child Identicant, pronounced "Vicky"), an android in the form of a 10-year-old girl. V.I.C.I. was built by Ted Lawson, an engineer/inventor for United Robotronics, in an effort to assist handicapped children. The robot is taken home by Lawson so that it can mature within a family environment. V.I.C.I.'s features include superhuman strength and speed, an AC outlet under her right arm, a serial port under her left arm, and an access panel in her back. Despite this, the Lawson family initially tries to pass V.I.C.I. off as an orphaned family member whom they eventually legally adopt as their daughter.
Small Wonder is a collection of 23 essays on environmentalism and social justice by American novelist and biologist Barbara Kingsolver, published in 2002 by Harper Collins. It reached number 3 in the New York Times non-fiction paperback best seller list in May 2003. The cover shows two scarlet macaws, the subject of one of the essays, in flight against a tropical forest.
Context
Kingsolver wrote the book in response to the 9/11 attacks, with the theme of 'reclaiming' patriotism for Americans who did not agree with the current direction of the country. The essay "And Our Flag Was Still There" was first published in the Los Angeles Times and her views such as "In my lifetime I have seen the flag waved over the sound of sabre-rattling too many times for my comfort" received an angry response from many US commentators. Some of the essays were co-written with Kingsolver's husband Steven Hopp, an ornithologist.
Reception
Rosemary Canfield-Reisman noted that the book was not as well-received as her other work and that it was "labeled unpatriotic by some reviewers and naive by others."
"All I Hear" was the third single from Kate Alexa, released in March 2006, taken from her debut album, Broken & Beautiful. There are two different versions of the single, one of them is the original and the other is the enhanced limited edition which has two extra tracks. The song is included on the compilation Now Winter 2006.
Recording and theme
Despite its chart success, not a lot of promotion could be done for the single due to Alexa suffering from glandular fever. "It was the worst birthday present ever" she said, "it was hell"."
According to Alexa, the song is about "...a person and no matter what they say they drive you insane". She states that's she started writing the song "by singing the melody "La, la, la, la, la..." and we all decided, "That's pretty much what the song is about" so we kept it".
Music video
Like that of her last single, My Day Will Come, the video was directed by Bart Borghesi and was shot in Melbourne. It shows Kate walking around on a sunny day walking across a bridge past two men in suits, one of them knocks her shoulder and his briefcase drops, the two men then begin to argue. It then switches to Kate performing with her band in a park with a crowd. Then it goes to Kate going into what seems to be a hotel room which belongs to the guy of the song, dropping all the clothes on the rail off the hangers and destroying sunglesses and writing the words "knock knock knock" on the door. For the second chorus she is performing with her band again. At the bridge she is seen putting super glue in the guy's hair gel. It keeps flipping from Kate performing with the band to Kate in the hotel room, dropping a phone in a goldfish bowl and graffiti-ing the wall. It ends with Kate jumping up and down on the bed of the room after ripping up the cushions and throwing the CD single copy of "All I Hear" on the bed.
Genius United Robotronics cybernetics engineer Ted Lawson, brings home for assembly and long-term field beta testing Vicki, or V.I.C.I. (Voice Input Child Identicant): a secretly constructed robotic domestic aide in the form of a 10-year-old girl, to whom housewife Joan takes a shine while 10-year-old son Jamie instantly takes advantage of Vicki as a maid to clean his room and do his homework.

VIKKI the Robot Girl
You know Vicky that I love you You are programmed what to do Is it wrong to feel this way I could tell you what to say But late in the evening when it's starting to get dark her light sensors defect to make a spark to set her ablaze with passions and desires She's lost control Only love can quench her fire She's fantastic made of plastic Microchips here and there She's a small wonder Love and laughter everywhere But once again when the sun is going down She becomes a menace, a terror of the town Her appetite for lust No man could ever know She's not human, no Vicky
