3 Robots Walk in a Bar, Which Do You Feel Comfortable Around?

                Wow, I had always felt it would be really cool to have a personal robot to take care of my needs at any time of day. I mean, I never actually thought my parents would not actually give me one for my birthday, nor did I actually plan on buying a robot to use as a slave. Thus, I never really thought out any of the details for what my robot would look like. Well according to this group of scientists, who interviewed a bunch of different generations of people in a study that can be found here, determined that it really depends on what the robot is doing for you. The ranges of a robots looks ranged from completely robot to completely human, and another choice for a kind of a mix between the two types.

                Personally, I would definitely go for the completely robot look for every situation possible. This is because once I start using robots for work that I should do, I do not really have to feel that bad about it since the robot still has a foreign quality that does not remind me so much of another human. If the robot were to look like a complete human, it still makes me kind of worried that they probably could pass off as a regular human. So, when they take over the world and real humans must start fighting back, or you know, when they are forced to do all the work that humans are supposed to do, it would still invoke some problems in the more innocent people, because it would honestly be kind of like slavery again. Well that is my opinion, and that may be just because I am part of the “younger generation” the study was talking about.

                In this study, it was shown that many of the older people preferred to have human robots while the other younger group had preferred to have either a mixed face or a completely robotic thing. My reasoning for this, of course from my extensive education of high school history, is delved from many instances occurring in history, where the elder generation is less susceptible to change, and try to remain the same, just look at the French. Younger people, who have not gotten into a “normal” routine yet, are still very flexible with how the world is run. In a different brain study, it showed that younger brains are better equipped for learning. The age gap between generations could create much debate in the future, but so far it has not happened yet, and let us hope it stays that way.
