all day. There is no motivation to work or walk when there are robots that serve their every

needs. It just depressing to see people do nothing but looking at the screen all day. The existence

of humanity would soon disappear if there is no bonding between human. The people in Wall E

movies have no place to live but a space ship because they have destroyed the Earth. Likewise,
