A New Member of the family
Bill Gates, who made his career in personal computers, believes that the age of home robots has arrived. He compares home robots today with personal computers 30 years ago. At that time, there were large computers in companies and universities, but there were few computers in the home. Gates suggests that soon robots will be adopted in the home in the same way that personal computers have been. This trend will allow us to live richer lives as robots take over boring housework duties.
There are several reasons why the age of home robots is now possible. First, robots need a brain-a computer. Computing power is now cheap and powerful enough to serve as this brain. Babies brains develope rapidly. Second, cameras, GPS, and voice recognition software enable robots to react to the world around them. The cost of these systems has fallen rapidly, but their power has increased. Finally, in the same way that Microsoft developed an operating system that could work on different kinds of computers, engineers are now beggining to write computer code for a potential common robot operating system.
Some poeple may oppose the idea of robots in every home, but most of us will happily welcome them in our lives. There are many reasons that robots will make our lives better. First, they will provide aid with housework. We will have robots that clean the floor while we are out. As well as cleaning our homes, robots will prepare and serve our meals and wash and iron our clothes. Others will cut the grass in our garden. Think of all the effort they will save us! We will have time to do the things we love. Second, we can have robot companions and pets. When we are elderly. They will remind us to take our medicine and report to emergency services if there is a problem. They will protect us from dangerous people who may try to force their way into our homes. If we are alone, they will keep us company and entertain us. We will come to love them us much us our pets today. But unlike live companions and pets, they will not die. Home robots may not look like the robots in science fiction movies, and we might not even think of them as robots. But without doubt, they will free us from useless household duties and prevent us from being lonely.
