When robots are widely used in the home, they will probably be used to do the cleaning , table - laying, scrubbing and washing up , but it is considered unlikely that they will be used to do the cooking - at least not in the near future.
In factories, mobile robots are already used to carry out a large number of the distribution and assembly tasks while human beings carry out research and produce plans for new products. Among the numerous jobs on the farm, robots will drive tractors, keeping their eyes on the ground in front to guide the tractor along the straight line.
The majority of the robots used at present do not look like human beings at all because their design is chiefly functional.
For good or bad, computers are now part of our daily life. With the price of a small home computer now as low as $50, experts predict that before long all schools and businesses and most families in the richer parts of the world will own a computer of some kind. Among general public, computers arouse strong feelings. People either love them or hate them.
The computer-lovers talk about how useful computer can be in business, in education and in the home. Apart from all games, you can do on them, your accounts on them, learns languages from them, write letters on them and in some places even do your shopping with them. Computers, they say will also bring more leisure, as more and more unpleasant jobs are taken over by computerized robots
The latter, on the other hand, argue that computers bring not leisure but unemployment. They worry, too that people who spend all the time talking to computers will forget how to talk to each other. Their biggest fear is that computers may eventually take over from human being altogether
