机器人的利弊

机器人的利弊 Some people think that robots are very important to human’s future development, while others think they are dangerous and have negative effects on society. Discuss both views and give your opinion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 所涉及的对象:人(工人;家庭普通人) Pros: 1) 帮人们干活(重复性的活=repetitive work/ household chores)，解放 劳力(free sb from doing sth)，提高生活质量(raise/ upgrade people’s living standard) 2) 帮人们干危险的活(dangerous tasks)，比如cleaning windows in the high-rise buildings/ exploring oil source in the sea bed which is often hundreds of thousands of meters deep down the ocean. / mining/ robots handling tasks in the nuclear accident in Fukusima 3) 可一天24小时不停干活(can operate around the clock)，而人类却不行 Cons: 1) 失业人数增加 (many working people will lose their jobs, as machines replace them in some industries like automobile manufacturing) 2) 人变懒(as technology brings people more conveniences, they are expected to become lazier and lazier. This might cause their health state to deteriorate/ come down/ become worse, as there is virtually no need for them to do anything in the computerized age) Robots are artificially created intelligent electro-mechanical devices. They are designed by human beings to assist in performing some activities that are considered tiresome and boring and at times risky. Some individuals opine that these robots would be pivotal in the future development of mankind. However, others are skeptical and fear that these robots will have negative effects on society. In the following paragraphs, I intend to discuss both views. To begin with, robots speed up the production process and are very good in repetitive tasks. For example, it is a well known fact that the leading products made in the developed countries like Japan are made by the help of intelligent machines or robots. What is more, robots can be operated 24 hours per a day which can also raise the productivity of the companies. Secondly, in the field of medicine, robots have been used to do complicated surgeries. For instance, in robotic eye surgery there are no tremors in the hands of robots and therefore the scope of serious errors is much reduced with the help of robots. Robots can also work in extreme conditions where humans are helpless. For example, robots helped a great deal in the rescue operations due to the tsunami and were used in nuclear environments to close the reactors of Fukushima. Robots will change the way we live in many ways by lifting more and more tasks off our shoulders. Robots can help us to do household duties like cleaning our house or washing dishes. This way, we have more time to do useful work, or spend the time with family or friends. Robot toys can play with children and help them in their development. Home security can be done by a robot, which can keep his attention up constantly and look out for unfamiliar situations like a fire or burglar. However, there are some who think that robots may negatively affect people’s life and also be extremely dangerous. There could be increase of unemployment in the future. It is expected that robots could replace many people at their working place. One of evidence for this is that few robots have already started to teach children at schools, others have been working as servants for several families. And it is clear, that some employers will choose cheap robots instead of humans, as they would work round the clock and also not take sick leave or coffee break. 【Nevertheless, I still believe that these disadvantages are of lesser importance compared to the abundant benefits that this prospect can offer】 In conclusion, I agree that robots will join in our lives in various ways, and play a role of growing importance. Robots will make our lives easier and increase our general living comfort. We have created the robots and we should know where to draw the line in their use so that we get the best out of them minus their disadvantages.
