This is the type of thing I've only seen in movies, but apparently the movies is playing out across the world!
It took Japanese scientists fifteen years of research to develop a woman robot that speaks different languages, organizes tasks, disciplines students, and makes several facial expressions. The robot was designed to replace office workers in order to cut costs.
I think these creations are pretty cool however, I don't agree with robots replacing humans when it comes to the classroom. I feel strongly about children having someone they can relate to, and you can't relate to a robot.
If robots are going to replace human beings in the work place, then where does that leave humans? Unemployed indefinitely?
Robots can be created to do other things useful like building machines but in the end, robots simply can not offer what a human being can offer; a heart.
