Robots: Future Technologies
and How They Will Effect Us.  （未来的科技对我们的影响---机器人）

What will life be like in fifty
years? Will our home life be more comfortable? Will our jobs become easier? Will
our health become better due to new technology? It is most likely to turn out
this way. According to scientist, robots will be doing our yard work, taking
over some of our jobs, and monitoring our health on a daily basis. Does this
sound unbelievable? This might just be the kind of world our grandchildren will
grow up in.

It's hard not to think about having our lives changed by the
introduction of these new gadgets. As for the household aspect, computers will
make our daily drudgery of housework dramatically more interesting. In the next
decade robots should be cleaning our floors, mowing our lawns, and even cleaning
our pools at the touch of a button. Who can imagine what advancements the next
fifty years will bring.

Home life is not the only thing that will be
effected by the growth of technology. Jobs will go from spine busting manual
labor to sitting behind a control panel. An example of this might be a HVAC
system on a large office building. Technology will probably advance to the point
of micro chips being placed into their systems, and when a problem is detected a
signal we be sent to eliminating not only the problem, but also hours in manual
troubleshooting. Experts say that manual labor will be all together eliminated
by the year 2050.(Reed 3) The teaching profession will also be drastically
effected. Electronic books could replace textbooks and even teachers. The
transportation industry will also see a decrease in human workers. With the use
of magnetic tracks, and computer driven shuttles and busses people will be
transported safely and more efficient then humans ever could.

Health
could be one of the most important subjects for the future, it is also the most
advanced. Our health will have the ability to be constantly be monitored. Our
alarm clocks will to report your hydration level and signal the refrigerator to
prepare you a drink.(Gorman 2) Our toothbrushes will be observing our mouth for
gum disease, tooth decay, and abnormal cells. All this with out being aware of
the tasks being preformed. How about a microscopic robot sent into the blood
stream to search for abnormalities. These microscopic machines, about the size
of a germ, will be able to take internal vital signs and organize the data back
to a mainframe computer implanted in your skin.

Have these inventions
piqued your interest? Have they got you wondering what the future holds? If you
think back just ten years and look at the technology compared to today's it is
unbelievable to think how far we have came. Although the future is unpredictable
we can count on the evolution of these machines.
