Robots:Good or Bad?
In 1954, George Devol created the first programmable and digital robot. At first, it was an accident. Since then, robotics has gone through a massive change in design and technology. More than a million industrial robots are now in use, nearly half are in use in Japan. During the 20th century, robots were simple and used to aid people. In today’s society, we use robots to help us with many tasks, cleaning, cooking, military missions and many other things. Now, robots are much more complex than when they were first invented. Inventors are trying to create robots that can think, have emotions and are able to be control by themselves. The fast-food company, McDonald's, is going to start using robots/kiosks to collect orders. These ideas create controversy. If robots have these programs in them and are available for public sale, will the human race become unnecessary and will the robots control us?
Many other questions come up when the topic of robotics come up. Are robots a good thing or bad thing for our 21st century society and lifestyle. Their advantages and disadvantages to having robotics in our daily lifestyles. Even if you do not think robots should be apart of our life, just think about how much better your life will be if we had them.
There are many advantages to having robots in our 21st century society. Robots can be made and programed to do many tasks that humans may not be able to do.
Robotics inventors have been creating military robots that do what our soldiers do now. If Robots replace soldiers, it would save many people’s lives. Right now,

Inventors have been testing and creating robots that can move and shoot enemy targets. Also, we could use robots for nightly shifts for regular hospital patients.
Another advantage of robots is that the could eliminate the problem of overworking employees. For example, the fast-food company, McDonald’s,
