I always thought the short story "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury fit into this category nicely. You can find this story in Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles." I believe I read it the first time as a stand-alone piece in high school in a literary class segment dealing with technology. Good short story. -- Walt Tucker
