Opinion
This article is about the robots we already have made and what our
future will have to do with them in a few years. The author thinks that
in our near future, we will have things like a sink that scrubs dishes
on it’s own, a lamp that bends to follow your paper, a fork that
vibrates when you eat too fast, things you can interact with, and more.
This is already starting to happen because Simon, a humanoid robot is
being developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
I
think that this is what’s going to happen in the future too, because
people want work done for them instead of having to do it themselves,
manually. I want things being done for me, but this article reminded me
of the story we read in class, There Will Come Soft Rains.
If we have all these appliances, and somehow the human race dies off,
will these robotic machines still keep working? I think that they would
lose power eventually, but let’s just hope the human race doesn’t die
off! So, I think that in the near future, we will probably have a lot
of appliances that we can interact with.
