The Face of Robots (part 5)


It's clear that robots are increasingly becoming a part of our daily lives in society, but the question remains: How readily will we accept them? Robot abuse is not an uncommon reaction, and though robot designers are taking this into consideration by creating more resistant robots, the day may come when laws are written to protect robots. Currently, robot vandalism and abuse falls under destruction of property, but as robots become more advanced and intelligent, it is likely that we will soon see robot rights advocacies. Organizations like PETA exist for the protection of animals, so it's a natural step for similar organizations to arise for the Protection and Ethical Treatment of Robots. Will such protections change our attitudes towards robots, or will resentment towards the automatons fester at a deeper level, as robots continue to replace us and eliminate our jobs?
