Robots: Pros and Cons
Hi and thanks for taking a look at this post. We have written this post to debate on the pros and cons of having robots replace people’s jobs. Some people think that it’s a good idea to do this, however, some dissagree. Let’s discuss...
Pros:
- Robots have no need for wages.
- They have have no human desires and will therefore do any of the jobs that a human would not want to do.
- They don’t need breaks; they can work 24/7 and not need food or sleep whereas a human would need these rest periods.
- Robots are more efficient than humans and can work faster than we can.
- They can’t catch illnesses and spread them. As of this, they don’t need to take days off from work because of health conditions and it is more hygienic and safe.
Cons:
- Robots need maintenance which can cost millions of pounds.
- They can mess up what they’re doing and malfunction.
- Robots are expensive to buy and make.
- One of the worlds greatest sci-fi book plot twists might come to life, robots may become so developed that they wonder why they need to take orders, therefore thinking for themselves and possibly consider taking over the world.
We have listed all of the reasons that we can think of, so do YOU think it’s a good idea or a bad one?
Thanks for reading :)

Hi I think it is a good idea because like u said they do not need a brake but do they need to charge???
Correct, they do need to charge every now and then, but they wont need to charge as much as we need food, water and sleep. Therefore, they would be able to work longer shifts than we are. Also, robots are being developed more and more almost every day, so who knows, maybe one day robots will only have to charge once or twice a year. Although currently it takes approximately 2 hours for them to charge, this may change in the future.
Could you share your source for where you found out "currently it takes approximately 2 hours for them to charge"?
