Pros and Cons of The Robotic Revolution

Before the 17th century, innovations in the world were very few. The largest number of the population was farmers, and they had to grow their own food. On the other side, after the year 1760, when the industrial revolution started, the entire world began to experience a great amount of transformations both economic and social. In the present day, we are still feeling and seeing those modifications. Technology innovations have one of the largest impacts affecting the world nowadays. After all this new technology being developed, a new revolution is approaching; a transaction that may or not change our lives forever. Healthcare and education will see a positive impact, while labor jobs like factory workers and tellers will be affected in a negative way by the future technology.

Seeing how fast technology is growing, people do not have doubts that in a couple of years from now, the best friend of humans will not be the dog, but a robot. Nowadays, we do not only see the robotic technology being applied in the manufacturing of cars and welding of microchips but in other fields too. The robot technology has been developed every day to be more accurate as to performing tasks. Adding and improving sensor and mechanical capability, have made these robots to work more like human beings. Thank to these advances, the healthcare industry is one of the most benefitted by this technology. Robots are now being used to manufacture drugs against rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and even cancer (Canals). Humans lack the exact precision for adding and mixing medicines and as a consequence the drug can easily lose important proteins and become less powerful. Robots can be built and programmed to be highly sensitive resulting in making the crea...
