The Pros And Cons Of Robots

724 Words3 Pages

What’s going to happen to all of the unemployed? How much longer will we have these jobs till we’re replaced? Are they doing more harm than good? These are questions that people ask when they think about robots and how technology is advancing. I believe that while there are bad things that happen from robots as a person who is going to school for computer science and technology I believe that these robots can do well, I just think that we shouldn’t let them control everything. One of the main reasons I think that technology and robots is a good thing is because as a kid I grew up with an interest in space exploration and other things related to that so I got a big interest in NASA and what they were doing. A good thing about robots in space exploration is we can send robots there instead of humans to make sure that it’s safe and that we can do it without problems or risk one major robot that I always think of when I think of robotics is the Mars Rover because to me that was such a big deal because we sent a robot to another planet to collect information about that planet and we were able to figure out all of these things for example: we figured out that Mars use to have water which was a big deal because now we are trying to send people to Mars which will be a big step in space exploration and it’s all thanks to a robot that we were able to figure that out. Right now NASA is working on a robot called the Robonaught which is basically a humanoid robot that is supposed to be

  • You Ve Been Unplugged Analysis

    Robots haven’t just inherited a spot in the workforce—they’re showing exceptional productivity, expanding skills, and broadcasting their human counterparts. In recent years, with the engagement of manual labor so high, Americans during the Industrial Revolution had no choice but to deal with long, hard work hours while still dealing with their barbarous conditions. As time goes by, we have witnessed many robotic and mechanical devices replace jobs that were done by people. The question of the matter is whether our jobs are safe or will robots soon snatch jobs away from humans completely? The demand for artificial intelligence is rapidly overshadowing the time consumption and work hours that was once satisfied by the duties of human labor.

    Thompson illustrated what kind of world we would live in if work were to diminish. This world included excessive amounts of dominating robots, contentious politics, and leisure time. For the past couple of years people have said that robots will take over and dominate humans. This has always been a myth, or rather a topic that is brushed off of the shoulders.

  • Summary Of Robot Invasion By Charlie Gillis

    966 Words  | 4 Pages

    The author does a decent job of expressing both sides to this issue and the ups and downs to both sides. Readers should see the problem with having robots take over the manual labor jobs and the negative impact it will definitely have on society whether we have time to adjust or not. This article is relevant because for many people this could mean the loss of their job because machines can perform it for less, and this means people who did not look at going to college before may have to find some way to do so, or they will have little to no choice in jobs. Today, this article has little impact so far, but with the huge improvements being made in robot technology every day; it will most definitely have an even bigger impact down the line. If we do not take action now we could be looking at a future where robots hold more jobs than humans, or where we become dependent upon them for just about everything (like the movie Wall-E).

  • The Pros And Cons Of Universal Basic Income

    713 Words  | 3 Pages

    With Artificial Intelligence on the rise, an estimated forty percent of American jobs could potentially be filled by robots within the next ten to fifteen years. Contributing to the high unemployment rates already prevalent in the United States, introducing more robots to the workforce has the potential to leave up to seventy-five percent of Americans with no source of income. While in certain aspects, Artificial Intelligence may have positive impacts on society, it is dramatically diminishing the amount of human-operated jobs across the globe. Gradually, the “upper class” will slip into the “middle class,” and the middle class will fall into the “lower class,” resulting in the skyrocket of American poverty rates. The solution to this detrimental issue, a Universal Basic Income, granting every person, no matter their “status” or wealth, monthly payments of equal
