I like the idea of robots helping us do our daily jobs but robots totally taking over our jobs is not a good thing. If humans no longer have to work then the life span of humans will shorten because we will become lazy because there are already robots that will do our works. Everybody knows the animated movie WALL-E right? Just look at how the people there looks like. It is not bad to have robots in our lives as long as there are limitations
Same thing was said about the industrial revolution. All those poor women would lose their sewing jobs... And yet it happened.
As for laziness, that shouldn't be a problem. People can get exercise, without the stress. In fact many people get exercise to get rid of the job induced stress.
Indeed little things like using bicycles, as done in many European and Asian countries would keep you both fit and healthy. American habits are, well, American. Try to balance your lifestyle, exercise is something like water and food, your body needs it even if you don't want to. You don't have to go pro sport player or anything, again little things like walking or climbing stairs when you can make a difference.
Automation is coming regardless of our opinions. I know some people are scared of driver-less cars, but that is coming. Ships and planes are driving on their own for the most part with humans being mere operators supervising operations.
When people mention robot, i don't think anthropomorphic human like beings, there are many robots in use in the industry, doing repetitive endless tasks, such as welding or painting cars. And yes, that replaced a bunch of human work, but advances in technology cannot be undone. Its like trying to undo Bitcoin, its already here, you cannot go back to a world without it anymore.
People will have to adapt, as always.
A robot is a machine that follows instructions. Basically a computer with movable parts. Remember that this is not necessarily tied to AI or even sentience, that is a whole different matter. but yes, that is also coming.
Oh, did you know the work
computer meant actually females doing math? Pre-WWII computer meant, a room filled with women doing math, computing trajectories and such... Because the men were in the front killing each other. Which is why there were so many women involved in early (machine) computer projects. Oh and they were employed in crypto too, blame the British and their secret project involving Turing and others.
I guess nobody misses those lost jobs. Oh did you know phones had to be connected manually by, a human operator too? Oh and letters wouldn't be "printed" by themselves, in the past someone had to either write or typewrite those...
