So at this time we would to start our discussion based on the topic given. Do we need to depend on robots in the future? bk18110242 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351370101 2019-04-13 12:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351370101 For me personally, we do need them in our life, but not to much as it may lead to many bad consequences. bk18110176 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351370387 2019-04-13 12:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351370387 For me, robots would be definitely ensure us a better living. Robots are automated to do multiple tasks. bk18110242 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351370459 2019-04-13 12:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351370459 From the topic given, relying too much on robotics indeed a good thing because most of the time, technologies and advanced robotics help us humans in self management and daily synchronization. For instance, our automobiles which empowered by the improvised systems provide a more secure and safe journey on the road. bk18110176 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351370804 2019-04-13 12:45:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351370804 However, if we look at the other side of opinion, robots might have its errors in handling tasks due to poor maintenance of robot machines. bk18110242 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351370993 2019-04-13 12:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351370993 We can say that robotics help us to evade from any bad situation in our daily life, but it is also necessary to acknowledge that robotics are not about solving our problems. It is just one of the convenient means that we can use to make our life easier. bk18110176 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351371463 2019-04-13 12:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351371463 I am also concern that robots might take human job as well. Jobless communities might be increased in the future. bk18110242 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351371542 2019-04-13 12:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351371542 I am also agree with your opinion Hayati. We also can see the scientist are computing the robot systems that will generate safety precautions to humans when danger is ahead of them. I think that robots may also keeping our lives in safe. bk18110242 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351371742 2019-04-13 12:58:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351371742 I agree with you Alexander. In science, we cannot fully guarantee that there is no error when conducting an experiment or handling a machine. There will be always an error caused by the human themselves. This may lead to a more severe consequence if other people who relied too much on such unwanted problematic robots. bk18110176 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351371792 2019-04-13 12:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351371792 If let say that robots are becoming one of the political figure in our country, do we have an easier life after this? bk18110242 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351372456 2019-04-13 13:09:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351372456 What? Becoming our leader in the future? That is not a good thing, not for the human race. Robots do not have such a feeling as human and this may cause us bigger problem when the robot is malfunctioning. bk18110176 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351372734 2019-04-13 13:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351372734 I agree with Pontin's words that today's technologies are mostly focused on gadgets that satisfies our needs and it's all about competing with their competitors rather than solving humanity's big problem. Secondly, it is seems that the IT researches or scientists does not give effort in solving the humanity's problem using technologies. However, not all the problems can be solve in just a finger snap. Sometimes it need more than techs and robots to solve the problems. bk18110080 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351391853 2019-04-13 16:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351391853 To answer Alex's question, I do not think robots as our leaders will make our life easier. Just as Hayati have mentioned, robots do not have feelings and they are created and programmed by humans. As a leader, he should have a feeling of empathy towards his people and make a non-biased decision. But robots on the other hand, they make decisions based on how they are programmed and sometimes the decision might cause troubles to the people. bk18110080 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351392194 2019-04-13 17:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351392194 Another thing, I am afraid that we humans might be too dependent on technologies and robots. For instant, social medias are helpful to connect us to other people anytime anywhere but humans will take a bk18110080 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351393391 2019-04-13 17:18:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351393391 I am sorry to say but I do not agree with Alex's statement that robots will keep our lives safe. Sure the robots are compute by humans, however we need to remember that robots are just metals that are programmed. While it can prevent accidents, it can also malfunction. What if the system have some errors or have been hacked by someone else? In the end, it all come back to us. We are responsible for our own safety and should not trusted it to bk18110080 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351395019 2019-04-13 17:42:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351395019 It is a good thing that we rely on robots to do repetitive or trivial works as it will save us a lot of time and is convenient. But, the robots might take up all the job opporturnities bk18110080 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351396546 2019-04-13 18:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351396546 It is a good thing that we rely on robots to do repetitive or trivial works as it will save us a lot of time and is convenient. But, the robots might take up all the job opportunities bk18110080 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351396547 2019-04-13 18:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351396547 It is a good thing that we rely on robots to do repetitive or trivial works as it will save us a lot of time and is convenient. But, the robots might take up all the job opportunities and humans would be left to nothing. Besides, if our reliance on robotics are increasing, we will be stupid as we do not know how to do even a simple work. Just as Hayati have said, their purpose of existence is just to make our lifes easier bk18110080 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351396548 2019-04-13 18:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351396548 bk18110196 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351397194 Yes , we do need a robots as one of our advance technology as it does contribute a lot of benefits and will also give us a more better life.]]> 2019-04-13 18:14:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351397194 bk18110196 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351397297 As for me , robots may change the difficult task into a more easier task.

Some inventor may made mistake. For example , if the robots that build cars and error may seem to occur, the mistake on inventing cars may lead accident to the car users.]]> 2019-04-13 18:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351397539 It is a good thing that we rely on robots because they can become our essential collaborators, freeing us up to spend time on less mundane and mechanical challenges . It's also will simply replace people on the job. bk18110196 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351414580 2019-04-13 23:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351414580 It is a good thing to speed up and boost up the quality of the job/task within the timeframe given. It is also indirectly train human to be more competitive with robot to get better result. bk18110196 https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351417245 2019-04-14 00:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bk18110242/egh6ei4k7bop/wish/351417245
