Abstract

This article explores the change that robotic machines bring in human culture. A study shows that some children are learning to confide in robots because they are safer than people. Experts believe that technology is seducing humans with the illusion of companionship that could be turned on and off at will, without any mutuality. Robots’ faces and especially their eyes show emotion, and their voices reflect rhythms and tones of human skin, mimicking an interested listener. Researchers believe that sociable robots and artificial intelligence software are changing human expectations. Today’s robots are not only smarter, but also are increasingly able to engage humans emotionally. As a result, humans have begun to think about their relationships with robots in new and often startling ways. Many people view robots as safer than people. A big percentage of people believe that the need for caretaker robots for the elderly is self-evident. These robotic technologies are seductive, because they promise taht we will always be heard and never be alone.
