Not everyone, however, is excited about
the advances in robotics. Several readers sent us their objections,
such as this vocational school teacher:
“The curriculum is becoming
increasingly redundant, and courses involving basic life skills are
being replaced by courses in robotic maintenance, AI management, or
cluster convergence...whatever that is! The students are constantly
being seduced by tech reps that sell them on dreams of 2 year robotic
maintenance certificates instead of actual degrees, promising annual
pay that's more than I make in 4 cycles!”
From another perspective, concerned
parents are expressing their disdain for the advances in robotics as
well:
“These things were supposed to make
my life easier, but all they did was free up so much time that our employers are starting to demand more hours from us every
week! I'd rather have more time at home, even if it means doing some
of the cooking and cleaning. Now I feel like the robots are running
my home for me while I make money to keep them maintained; I get home
late from work, go to sleep, and then have to head back early the
next morning! Life used to be easier than this!”
