The progression of technology is inevitable and undeniable, which makes the intelligent machine—robots an important part in our life. With the popularity of robots, what will happen to our work and life?

From point of my view, in the near future our work in industry will be operated by robots, which will raise productivity and cut cost of manpower. Our cooking, washing and cleaning in our daily life will be completed by robot servers, which will liberate us from trivial housework, and give us more time to do things we like. However, there is still much real challenge if robots become the mainstream of society. First, the less-skilled people will be out of work as a result of wide application of robots in industry. Second, we will get fatter and fatter because of robot doing housework instead of us.

Based on the above imagination, we can easily acknowledge that robot is a double-edged sword. We should draw on the advantages and avoid disadvantages, and make it bring maximum benefits to human beings.
