A survey about the use of robots in daily life was conducted in Sunshine Middle School. Among 45 students, two-thirds (30 students) support it, while one-third (15 students) oppose it.
Supporters believe robots can handle lots of dangerous and difficult work, making life easier.
They also think robots can work 24 hours a day, improving efficiency.
Opponents argue robots are expensive.
Besides, they may make people lazier and have virus problems.
What's more, robots might reduce human job opportunities.
In my view, robots are helpful if used properly.
They can assist us, but we shouldn't depend on them too much.
