Robots — the Ideal Workers?
1. We hear many complaints about work in factories; the work is often "boring, heavy and repetitive; the operative1 doesn't have to think about the work; he gets no job satisfaction.
2. The answer is a robot. For many jobs a robot is much better than human operative. Once it has been programmed, it will do its job over and over again. It never gets bored; it works at a constant speed; it doesn't make mistakes; its work is always of the same standard; it doesn't get tired; it can work 24 hours a day without breaks for food, rest or sleep.
3. Robots have other advantages, too. They are designed to do almost any job. You can't change the human body, but a robot's arms, for example, can be made to move in any direction. Robots also do very heavy work and they can operate in conditions that are too .dangerous, too hot or too cold for people to work in. They work under water, in poisonous gas and in radioactive areas.
4. It is obvious that robots have many advantages over human beings. However, it is also true that humans can do many things that robots can't. For example, humans can carry out a task without having to be told exactly how to do it first — in other words, they don't always have to be programmed.
