article discusses how society's view of robots has changed over time. This
can be seen in how robotics

are portrayed in science fiction. As robots have

become more advanced, the more they

have become similar to humans,

and with this factor comes rising risk of danger.

Aronson, Louise. "The Future of Robot Caregivers." The New York Times. The
New York Times, 19 July 2014. Web. 26 Apr. 2015. Found on the New York

Time's site, this article is about

robots as caregivers in general. The

author deals with patients and believes that any

pros about robotics

taking care of people far outweigh the cons. Robots can do so many
things that humans are not able to do, so therefore their use would be
a benefit to

humanity.
