Some people think that robots are very important for humans' future development. Others, however, think that robots are a dangerous invention that could have negative effects on society. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It is undoubted that robots these days handle a large number of our domestic and workplace tasks. Some people show their concerns about

this

ongoing trend, but I believe that it is

overall

a positive development. On the one hand, the heavy

use

of technology can result in bur overreliance on it.

This

is dangerous because when a machine malfunctions or breaks down, we often become completely helpless.

For example

, I once had to make some calculations for a project, but my cell phone ran out of battery, so I was unable to

use

its calculator app. I

then

wasted ten minutes trying to remember how to divide numbers properly, and in the

end

Add a comma

,end

show examples

I even got the final numbers wrong.

However

, these occurrences are very common and they certainly do not outweigh the benefits we derive from technology. First and foremost, technology saves us an incredible amount of time and effort. A washing machine,

for instance

, does not require people's presence to perform its duty,

whereas

scrubbing their clothes themselves takes up a considerable amount of time. Efficiency aside, robots

also

act as a safeguard because they increase accuracy in our work. In fact, without

machines

such

as computers, the work we do would be filled with imperfections and errors.

Finally

,

machines

prevent workplace injuries, especially in factories where

machines

lift heavy objects, or in assembly lines where they handle dangerous procedures or hazardous materials. The rising

use

of these robots has no doubt reduced countless injuries in recent human history.

Thus

, despite the concerns that some people may have, I believe that the increasing

use

of

machines

is more beneficial than detrimental to our society.
