You are sitting at home doing your homework when your mother comes home early from her job at a factory. "What’s wrong with you, mom?" you ask her. "I lost my job to a robot (机器人) ", she said sadly. Does this sound impossible? Thousands of robots are already being used in factories all across the country. More are being put in factories every day. Some new factories are completely run by machines.
One result of more robots in factories is increased unemployment in industrial areas. Factory workers in these areas are worried. Even when jobs are kept, robots change the nature of the work, according to the workers. They say their jobs become less interesting. Some people are not satisfied that they only "baby-sit" for machines now.
Other people think that robots will help both factory owners and the work force. Company spokespersons are quick to point out that robots often do jobs that people would rather not do, jobs that can be uninteresting or dangerous. The use of robots for dirty work can improve the working conditions for humans.
For factory work, robots are usually cheaper to operate and can do better jobs than humans. Many factory owners think that they must either use robots or lose business to companies that do. Some industry experts feel that robots will offer many new jobs. After all, people will have to build and fix the machines. But other experts point out that although using robots may bring about more jobs in the long run, they certainly cause job losses in the short run.
