Some may ask of the importance of robots without knowing how much they make use of them daily. Robots are able to undertake assignments that humans are incapable of doing, such as extremely tedious, or just larger tasks that require time that most people just do not have. Writer Kevin Kelly, in the article Better than Human, explains the way humans and robots interact, and how humans will continue to grow heavily dependent on them. Robots are given the jobs that humans are incapable, or just do not feel like doing. The robots can also take on simpler tasks to make peoples lives and jobs easier. The author describes how they make use of robotics by repeating and touching up on specific points to give the reader a hint of how important robots

These machines increase production in factories and make the creation of products much easier. The author uses repetition in this article to make the fact clear that robots are able to do our jobs better, faster, and more efficiently. He says, “It may be hard to believe, but before the end of this century, 70 percent of today’s occupations will likewise be replaced by automation” (Kelly). Based on the percentage, the reader is able to get a better visualization on how much more robots could do, and how many jobs will be taken over by robots. He further explains this point by saying robots will not only take over physically-demanding labor, but also work that requires knowledge. For example, we rely on technology to quickly give us calculations of various data. He continues to describe how they could take over the simplest of tasks, such as chores and janitorial work. Rather than fully take over these jobs, they may just make the employees job easier. Robots’ taking over peoples jobs are repeated throughout the entire article. He even ends the article with the process of how robots steal, or will eventually steal your job. It starts with humans being in denial of robots doing their jobs, but then the robot becomes able to do their jobs with ease. This leads to workers being either replaced by the robot, or on the lighter side, they may gain a much easier …show more content…
He says, “We don’t have the attention span to inspect every square millimeter of every CAT scan looking for cancer cells. We don’t have the millisecond reflexes needed to inflate molten glass into the shape of a bottle” (Kelly). The description of how efficient robots are compared to humans allows the reader to understand just how important robots are, and how they can do something that a living thing cannot. The improvement of robots compared to a human helps people imagine just how advanced robots can be, and just how much they outclass humans in various fields. To build upon the use of imagery used in this article, the author talks search engines. “Every time you click on the search button you are employing a robot to do something we as a species are unable to do alone” (Kelly). Most may think that they are doing all the work, but it is programs that search through everything. In less than a second, millions of programs are running to find the information that your need. It is because of the use of robots that humans can learn quickly, but it was because of humans that we are able to use robots in the first
