Highlight an interesting idea in each paragraph.
A New Member of the family
Bill Gates, who made
his career in personal computers, believes that the age of home robots has
arrived. He compares home robots today with personal computers 30 years ago. At
that time, there were large computers in companies and universities, but there
were few computers in the home. Gates
suggests that soon robots will be adopted in the home in the same way that
personal computers have been. This trend will allow us to live richer lives as
robots take over boring housework duties.
There are several
reasons why the age of home robots is now possible. First, robots need a
brain-a computer. Computing
power is now cheap and powerful enough to serve as this brain. Babies brains
develope rapidly. Second, cameras, GPS, and voice recognition software enable
robots to react to the world around them. The cost of these systems has fallen rapidly,
but their power has increased. Finally, in the same way that Microsoft
developed an operating system that could work on different kinds of computers,
engineers are now beggining to write computer code for a potential common robot
operating system.
Some poeple may oppose
the idea of robots in every home, but most of us will happily welcome them in
our lives. There
are many reasons that robots will make our lives better. First, they will
provide aid with housework. We will have robots that clean the floor while we
are out. As well as cleaning our homes, robots will prepare and serve our meals
and wash and iron our clothes. Others will cut the grass in our garden. Think of all the effort
they will save us! We will have time to do the things we love. Second, we can
have robot companions and pets. When we are elderly. They will remind us to
take our medicine and report to emergency services if there is a problem. They
will protect us from dangerous people who may try to force their way into our
homes. If we are alone, they will keep us company and entertain us. We will
come to love them us much us our pets today. But unlike live companions and
pets, they will not die. Home robots may not look like the robots in science
fiction movies, and we might not even think of them as robots. But without
doubt, they will free us from useless household duties and prevent us from
being lonely.
