M: I’m learning to drive this summer. Would you like to join me?

W: No, I hate driving. I wish I could have a self-driving car.

M: I guess we might not need human drivers much longer. Experts are predicting that robots will take over 30% of our jobs within 10 years. Actually, robots can do a lot nowadays. They can do many difficult jobs like analyzing data and translating documents. They make fewer mistakes than humans and they don’t get tired.

W: What dangerous jobs can robots do?

M: Robots can work in the areas that cannot be reached by humans. For example, in Japan, robots have already been used in rescue work. Robots can even go in space to do scientific work.

W: What if we are completely replaced by robots?

M: I don’t think that’s very likely. Some jobs will never be completely taken over by robots, such as teaching and acting. I think we should take the opportunity to learn new skills and view robots as partners.

W: I agree.
