1.- Robots – The Future.

What jobs might robots be able to do in the future?

Un robot podrá realizar trabajos los cuales solo los seres humanos puede hacer, tales como, tratar pacientes, construir casas, hacer todo el trabajo de casa, manejarte y prepara tu comida.

 

What are the advantages of having a robot?

Salvaría tiempo y dinero.

 

What are the main disadvantages?

Sería muy costoso.

 

What concerns the speaker?

Algo que podría preocuparme un poco seria, ¿Qué si el robot comenzara a mal funcionar y destruyera cosas?

 

How does the speaker concluye?

“Yo pienso que se puede concluir salvando que aun cuando en el futuro existan robots podría ser extremadamente de mucha ayuda, yo personalmente le vería más desventajas que ventajas. ¡Yo estoy feliz con mi vida en estos momentos aun si tengo que hacer mi propio planchado y comida!”
