Web Quest 9th Grade Fall Semester Project

My blog post is about how robots are taking over the job industry. Everyday more and more people lose their jobs due to robotics. The intelligence of robots has grown in the past years more frequently than ever before. Hundreds of Americans have been laid off due to the growth of robotics. Take for instance that a task that needs one hundred people to accomplish, may only need one robot to accomplish that same task. Robot mechanics are becoming more informed on the way in which to build a robot to where it can perform at the best it can. Robots are designed to do tasks that people may or may not be able to do. They are used to build cars, dismantle bombs, pack boxes, answer phones, mow yards, explore deep sea ship wrecks and many other things. However, people have still not been able to give robots enough common sense to perform without supervision. While some robots are very simple, others are quite complex. In the next ten years the world of robots will grow very drastically. The jobs they will be able to accomplish will be unimaginable. Robot mechanics have come up with ways for the robot to talk, walk, and to overcome obstacles. They are increasing in number, and in type. Industry is exploring cars that can drive themselves. Designers are imagining military vehicles that can enter combat without human help. Companies are looking into robotic parts that will do basic home functions. Robots can be found in the manufacturing industry, the military, space exploration, transportation, and medical applications. Even with everyday tasks such as mowing the lawn or vacuuming the house. A few categories in which robots pertain to are entertainment, research, health care, schools, mining, military, and factory. Toyota is a great example of people losing their jobs to the robot industry. Toyota is full of robotics. They have robots that make parts for the cars, or even put the cars together. They also have robots that paint the cars. The jobs that the robots accomplish are jobs that humans could accomplish just as easily. This blog post, as you can see, will inform you very much about the topic of robots.
