More and more tasks we do at hoke and work these days arw done by robots.Is this a positive or negative development?
Robots are replacing an increasing number of jobs of both employees and households. Although it may pose some problems to our societies, in my opinion, its benefits are far more significant.
There are two drawbacks to employing robots. One underlying issue is passive lifestyle that it seems to promote. In the past when our advanced technologies such as washing machines, vacuum cleaners were not available, people were obliged to complete their household chores manually. This, in turn, would keep them physically active. However, our day-to-day activities are carried out easily with the help of robots, making us even more reluctant to do physically workout. Obviously, if robots take over certain positions people are currently working in, the unemployment rate rises noticeably.
