Nowadays, robots are already a part of our life. They help us in everyday life with our routine activities, saving our time for more important things. Some robots help us to do housework. Instead of wasting time cleaning the house, we can relax watching a movie or reading a book, chat with friends or play with our children. They can do the job when you are working, jogging, and having fun with friends.

Besides household chores, robots can substitute a human in dangerous or hard work. There are drones designed to wash the skyscrapers; others help in the mines or other difficult hazardous conditions. They can also work in zones with high radioactivity. The impact on space exploration is also huge.

Robots can also be used in medicine to test different medications. And what is more important, robots can make operations on people more effectively than doctors because they don't have emotions and feelings; they don't make mistakes.

Despite having lots of advantages, there are some downsides. For instance, some countries have invented fighting robots and even have begun testing them. That can lead to very serious and negative consequences if the governments lose control.

Robots have entered lots of spheres of our life: in the future robots will be able to not only look after our children but also to bring them up. And the consequences might be horrible. Moreover, robots are and will be able to collect personal information about us, which may lead to losing privacy and unlimited control of human beings. So, all the benefits of using robots are fascinating, but we must keep an eye on them, and prevent their interference into our lives.
