Technological evolution is speeding daily, each generation of technology improves over the last, the rate of progress from version to version speeds up. A decade ago, smartphones didn’t exist and as we know them by today’s standards they are necessity. With the rise in technological change cost has gone down and its power has increased. In today's world there are still many things which are not possible by humans but can done with the help of technology though it is developed by humans.
Robots have always been a helping hand to the humans and have
reduced the work load on the humans, but all the work cannot done
by the robots. They have made our life pretty easy by finishing the
job within seconds but they still need maintained which can only be
done by humans. The cost has gone down with coming of robots in use
and they are definitely replacing humans because human’s gets tired
and are tend to make mistake but robots can't because they are
programmed in such a way. But it also true robots can make the life
easier but cannot replace humans because at the end it's a machine
an advanced version of technology which is only designed by a
human. They make our life easier at shopping stores or at an
automobile industry but they are supervised by humans.
In my opinion, robots are very big helping to us but cannot replace human help in the near future also.
