ROBOTS
Would you like a robot in your house? It is now generally accepted that in the future robots
will take over many our tasks especially jobs of a repetitive nature. But it’s doubtful if robots will
ever be able to do any of the more creative types of work - or indeed if people would want them
to. In the home, robots would probably be used to do the cleaning table-laying, scrubbing and
washing up, but it’s considered unlikely so far that they’ll be used to do the cooking - at least not
in the near future. Robots in the home might not be creative enough to do the cooking, plan the
meals, and so on. They would be used as slaves, thereby freeing people to do more of the things
they wants.
FACTS T F
58. It is thought that robots will be able to do the same jobs every day.
59. It is certain that robots will be able to help us with creative tasks.
60. In the near future, robots will be used to do things such as cooking.
61. Robots will help us do some of the housework such as washing dishes.
62. Robots would be able to do more than people want
