Life imitating art: delivery robots

 

  • The dull, drab mise-en-scene of the above image demonstrates that when actual, radical technological change is implemented, it will not be exciting, but will happen through the medium of bureaucratic announcements and legal red tape
  • Robots in real life is an exciting idea!
  • Technological advancements can help the world become a better place!
  • Much technological advancement is not actually based on progress, but instead on emulating science fiction
  • Robots are potentially a cost efficient way of cutting down wages. They can potentially replace 
  • The design of these robots must be non-threatening, which suggests a public fear of robots, technology, and change in general
  • But how much of our fear of robots is actually derived from exploitative science fiction dramas? Are we guilty of stereotyping robots?
