SAD as in Seasonal Affected Disorder? Wow! So sad, Madam Tussad. I happened to watch the latest episode of television's show Superstore, minutes ago. Amy Sosa asked her boyfriend to do some guiding and fixing on the store's new robot named Glen. The robot has no remorse on where it's going or what his function that it never see the mess its making and the Superstore staff were pissed off. Well, you know robots should be programmed properly. The function of robot should be for the good of helping the rest of the workers, some of which are somewhat "slow" or working not according to their job category. (Great acting dudes). It has to be "programmed according to its function." If the function is reverse to do something bad then the robot will do it as it was programmed. So it depends on the "program." By the way, Mateo was taken by Federal Agents to Federal Prison. At the end of this 30 minute episode, the whole Superstore management and staff/clerk took the robot up on the rooftop and one of the Superstore clerk pushed a button and the robot fell from the roof down to the ground. However, surprise of all surprises, the robot managed to get up and robotwalk and said "it was just accident." That's what it is with robots they never get sick, nor hurt and they don't get tired and no wage for them. No salary for robots. No benefit but their work is also needed not to threaten the works of other workers but to help. That's what it is for and that's how and why they are build to HELP humans. There are heavy loads that humans cannot do or carry and robotic machines such backhoe, cranes, tractors, vacuums, lawnmowers, military robot soldiers, drones, hospital equipment are God-sent.
Your indispensable TV or television and computers are robotic machines. Your cellphones are small gadgets robotic with features. So...
I know that's unfair right? Humans get hurt, get sick and in order to live and survive must be paid for their work so that they can pay their bills, pay mortgages, and be a part of the good society. Humans are humans, they are people with feelings. For humans to exist and co-exist, work is much needed and wages must be paid by employers. It is what it is. We are living in high-tech universe and we have to begin to understand that we exist because of these "robots."
The existence of robotic machines maybe seen as a threat but the overall usage and functions benefit mankind. So be it.
