Living with Robots
Movies about
the future, robots often feature in the home. In some movies, they serve the
family by doing Housework. In other movies, they may even take the place of
family members, acting as lovers or children. But will robots really aid us in
our daily tasks in the future? Will people adopt them
as their own children?
As with any new
technology, some people will oppose robots just because they are new. These
people will try to force their opinions on us. They
will says, “it is important that we make efforts ourselves.
If we don’t do our own work, we will become like small children.” Others want
robots to serve them. They will argue that this gives
us the potential to do more by freeing us from small
daily jobs. People will then be able to spend more time on their careers and
less on house work. And those who like to enjoy themselves will also have more
time for doing fun things.
The potential of
robots as family members is more in doubt because
robots are only moving computers. A computer code that
tells a robot to act like a child is much more difficult to write than one that
instructs a robot wash the dishes. Perhaps the family member most likely to be
a robot is the family pet! In fact, a number of companies are already making
different kinds of robots pets. Is the future already here?
