I think there is a cycle for everything in life, and right now the newest cycle involves robots. It’s a scary thought to have, that one day robots will take over. Before we were thinking small, vending machines, ATM’s, smartphones, now it’s Echos telling you what you should wear, face recognition programs so you can enter your work, to now robots preparing food for you.
I was reading the article by Daniel Kline, “Are Robots Taking Over Fast Food Restaurants?” and how is now testing ordering kiosks, how dominoes has many ways we can order food without having to be at the shop, which at first does not seem like anything bad. There are numerous places like Panera that already have ordering kiosks I honestly prefer, it gives you hundreds of options to customize and still add comments of how you specifically want things made. I personally love kiosks because I do not have to wait in line, and I don’t feel the pressure when I do ordering. I can take my times, flip through endless options and get everything I want. I know that if I were to order at the register would not customize my sandwiches at all because I would not want to be that annoying person that makes their order super complicated. I think that when it comes to ordering food it is not something bad to move to in our technological lives. Yes it would be less jobs, but it can also add jobs, more orders will come in, meaning more money for companies, and also with more orders, requires more people to be taking these orders so instead of being at the register, people will be in the kitchen. We are moving towards a world where everything is going to be handled by robots, and the thought makes me feel uneasy. It always takes me back to the robot movie were they robots take over the world, and I do believe this will be party of our story on earth. Robots doing what we cannot do, being “taught” morals and how to think for themselves will lead to them thinking they are better than us. I think we need to limit what robots are being thrown at us, we are already super dependent of technology and it is only going to get worse.
