So ... if you want to put it provocatively, advances in robotics and technology do not only bring blessings to humanity. A prominent example is mobile phones (especially) for children.
What exactly do you mean by that? I can track my child, I know what they discuss with their friends, my child can reach me anytime if they need me. Those are advantages. The disadvantage is that I have to deal with technology to make it childproof. But that is on a different level, similarly with bicycles.
Also: See civilization diseases...
There will definitely be robot physiotherapists. They treat you while you sleep. You don't notice anything and wake up with the suppleness of a 16-year-old.
And if we push robotics and AI further, soon, for example, robots might sit in the "court" and judge humans?
That could at least ensure real neutrality. The question is whether we want that.
And if grandma soon needs care, we send her a "Pepper" into the house, which is more convenient.
It's better if the children and grandchildren can then take care of the person and not be so exhausted by the care that they basically just want to go home afterward.
Given the underpaid and sometimes grumpy care staff, I would prefer for my future that a robot would do all that. At least I can yell at it or even hit it if it does something wrong.
Here one can of course point out that a "Pepper" can be helpful in the household to support keeping people (longer) in their familiar environment.
- Exactly!
