It’s difficult to remember what life was like before
technology. It solves mathematical problems for us. It
sends messages to friends in a second. It even cooks dinner
for us. When technology makes a mistake, it’s only because
it’s following instructions from a human. So, what’s the
next big step in technology? Robots are common in
industry such as car manufacturing and recently NASA sent
the first humanoid robot into space where it works on the
International Space Station. It’s called Robotnaut 2 or R2
and it does all the simple or repetitive jobs so the
astronauts can spend more time doing experiments.
Perhaps in a few years’ time every home will have their
own R2.
