Script
Science fiction writers in their books have long predicted the beginning of the era of robots. But fortunately, robots are a technique that makes life easier for people.

The life of a person of the XXI century is at a very fast pace. We perform a number of actions that are important to us at the moment: work, important meetings, child care. A modern person does not need to do cooking, cleaning and gardening at all.

Recently, a smart microwave has appeared that recognizes the QR code on the package with a ready lunch and adjusts the cooking mode itself. The patent promises the taste of a restaurant dish in six minutes. The microwave itself doesn't even have control buttons. All this frees up our time at times. All devices from a kettle to a vacuum cleaner make our life comfortable. And as for professions?

Earlier, in the 30s of the last century, in cities such as Chicago and Detroit, workers hurried to shifts in automobile concerns. Up to one hundred thousand people of different nationalities worked there. Now, many actions when assembling cars are performed by robots. They install parts, paint, assemble motors and brakes. Thus, only one person monitors the device, not 20, as before. People are losing their jobs.

But there are advantages to robots. It should be noted that technology still does not deprive us of work and stable earnings. During the pandemic, a lot of people had to be in self-isolation. But internet technologies and communications have helped many enterprises and companies to switch to remote work. Thus, companies did not lose a lot of money, and people continued to work and earn money. It is impossible to imagine such a situation if a pandemic had happened in the last century, as the Spanish Flu epidemic. As an example, a robot surgeon has advanced the quality of operations without a fatal outcome.

The fact is that the devices are so microscopic that the human eye of a surgeon cannot compare with them. The surgeon continues to be in the operating room and monitors all stages. In which case, he can autonomously start the operation himself. But the devices make very clear movements and iterations to save a person's life. Recently, the news came that the patrol robot for the first time in history disobeyed a person and fired a shot, from which a person died. This means that robots need to be controlled.

Each phenomenon has two sides, on the one hand, we make life easier for ourselves for more important tasks, on the other hand, the need for previously sought-after professions is lost.
