Answer 13

(1) We find them in dark movie theaters. (2) We find them in the pages of books. (3) We see them moving through the imaginary worlds of our video games. (4) They work on the floors of very real factories. (5) Some of them have even started to live with us in our homes as toys or tools. (6) The robots have arrived, and they are here to stay.
(7) When Czech writer, Karel Čapek wrote a play that, introduced people to the term "robot," he probably never imagined that the word and the idea would become so popular. (8) Other creative thinkers had imagined similar ideas. (9) Čapek was one of the first, however, to devote so much attention to the idea of robots. (10) His play R.U.R. gave people one of the earliest images of robots. (11) His vision even became an example for so many others to follow and caused people to think of how robots affected their lives. (12) Čapek's R.U.R., which is short for Rossum's Universal Robots, was written in 1920 and showed audiences a world in which humans create intelligent machines to do the work of servants. (13) Čapek named these intelligent machines "robots." The word robot is derived from the Czech word robota, which means "forced labor." (14) In the play, the robots initially work obediently for humans but later rebel against their human creators. (15) When the play was translated into other languages, translators kept the word "robot." (16) The word and the idea soon captured the imaginations of readers around the world. (17) Robots soon began appearing in other books, movies, and comics. (18) Real-life robots started appearing, too, as inventors tried to turn fiction into reality.
(19) Today, one area in which real robots have started to appear is in the industrial factory. (20) Scientists have created robots that work on automobile assembly lines, in computer chip plants, and in many other industries. (21) Now, some factories are filled with robots working 24 hours a day. (22) Robots can help humans be more efficient and effective.
(23) Some people have doubts about these developments. (24) They argue that for every job a robot does, a person is put out of work. (25) Others worry about quality. (26) They wonder if products made by robots can match the work done by humans. (27) Then, there are people who worry about the robots. (28) People worry that intelligent robots may one day feel resentful like the robots in Karel Čapek's play. (29) Isaac Asimov is another author who wrote about robots. (30) Whatever the responses are to these doubts, robots are clearly here to stay.
