Robots are operated machines programed to perform function like humans.
They are mostly used in modern countries, big firm and companies for manufacturing and packaging.
I could recall one day when i watched a foreign movie, i saw robots cleaning the house. They make things very easy for humans. They work very fast.
They can also work in environment that is unsafe for human beings.
Sometimes Robots are even sent to wars.
There are also negative ways where this technology advancement can affect:
- They take the jobs of humans.
If a company would employ 100 persons, they might only employ 50persons and get Robots do the other work. There by reducing job opportunities for humans.
They can also make people lazy.
Imagine having robots that does all the work even at home, you will feel really relaxed.Robots also need knowledge of programming. Someone who doesn't have knowledge of programming can not build one and may not be able to operate it.
They can only function when there is power supply and are expensive to set up.
