NEW JOBS IN 21ST CENTURY...

OUR STUDENTS IN 1ST bACHILLERATO HAVE BEEN WORKING ON NEW JOBS FOR THE FUTURE. HERE YOU CAN READ SOME EXAMPLES:

LAURA RODRIGUEZ: 

Technology has implied a huge revolution in the 20th century. The invention of machines and robots is increasing more and more.

On the one hand, robots are very useful. Having robots at home like cleaning mini robots or window cleaner arms will save us a lot of time, effort and money. Although they are expensive, it is a good investment. For example, someone who doesn't know much about cooking, instead of getting someone to work for them at home, they can buy robots like Thermomix which can cook a huge amount of meals.

On the other hand, they are replacing people, this means people are left without a salary. In addition, robots can't have human ideas. For instance, the Thermomix I mentioned above doesn't control if the house is on fire as a human being is able to do, of course. One friend of mine has invented a robot which detects gas in a factory but it can detec a flooding.

To sum up, they are definitely useful although they leave many people aside without a job and fortunately, they don't pollute the environment, which is our main priority for the future. We must take care of our planet Earth. It is the only one we have.

ASIER SORIA:

In the last few years, the robotic industry has increased and developed greatly, especially in countries like Japan or the USA and, nowadays, it is really extended all over the world. People think robots could be our future or our end and both ideas are really common.

One of the advantages could be that robots allow us to do things extremely difficult for humans, like when talking about working techniques, lifting heavy objects or non-stop working. Futhermore, they are really useful on scientific research too. One of the main disadvantages is that a lot of people are afraid of losing their jobs because of robots and their domination over humans, mainly due to the new discoveries on  life-intelligence incorporated in robots.

Personally speaking, whereas many people may think that robots will be our end, I think they are the best way to improve as a society and, although they are too expensive, I would prefer to invest in robots, which will be able to help people, than invest in the royal family’s affairs, for example.
