Are Robots Beneficial To Our Society

The robotics revolution is taking place and has been taking place for the past few years. With the increase of production and consumption of technological devices like the smartphone, televisions, smart computers (like Mac), and even smart gaming systems (like the Xbox one), robots are slowly integrating into our society. Companies like Google and Apple have made advances into their products in order to maintain a footing in this revolution. Google, in particular has already bought eight robotics companies in the second half of 2013, and continued on well into 2014 with the purchases of Boston Dynamics and Titan Aerospace.

They benefit us in ways of figuring out problems, taking over our menial jobs, or being at our beck and call. For example, we command our cellphones to call anyone from our contact list and they will automatically do it. We do not have the trouble to search through our contact list and find the person we want. With just one command, it pops up on our screen instantly. In addition to that, we can command these gadgets to turn on our lights, unlock our doors, turn on music and so on and so forth. These are necessarily prototypes to what scientists really want to create, which is a humanoid, or a human-like
