I'm a pizza maker in an Italian restaurant but my boss has come up with this idea of
purchasing a robot to make the pizzas. He's been pushing for this for a while, but only
now has he found a robot that he can afford. He says that there have been some great
advances in robotics and that they can now program a robot to make pizzas as well as I
can. The robot won't replace me exactly, but it will be a great asset for the restaurant
because it will enhance efficiency – we can feasibly produce twice the number of pizzas
with the robot. So, that will be the workforce – me and the robot! – and we'll have two
separate ovens – there'll be one especially designed for it. I think it's a crazy idea but
I'm curious to see how it works.

Brianna: Well, I don't think this situation is fair at all. The company just wants to reduce
costs here. I understand in some other types of work that robots can do a more efficient
job than humans, that they can enhance our working lives, but I'm not convinced that
that is the case in supermarkets. I mean, will they really do the job as well? I know there
have been a lot of advances in robotics but I think you still need a human workforce for
many things. For example, how will robots check when a product reaches its sell-by
date? Also, shoppers like to chat with staff, and I think the whole experience would be
very cold without us!
It is true that some of the work we do is very mechanical – like stacking shelves – and I
guess that can be easily done by robots. It might even be exciting working alongside
robots! But I just don't agree with how these changes are being made. Even if in the
long run it is a good idea to bring in more robots and automation, I think it would have
been better to have introduced these changes gradually or have… like, a trial period,
maybe just getting them to work on the night shifts. I wouldn't have minded taking a
reduction in hours or something like that to see how it all worked out. I know that's what

Eva: I wouldn't take an English class taught by a robot. Robots might be good for
teaching subjects like math and science, but language learning is more complex.
John: You have a good point there. Robots can't completely replace human teachers,
but don't you think they could help teachers?

Cathy: I think robots could feasibly do lots of tasks for us in the future at home. There
are many things that we don't particularly like doing because they're so mundane, like
ironing or cleaning the oven, to name just a few. Of course, there are also people who
find these tasks physically difficult, or who can't do them at all – some elderly people, for
instance. I think in twenty years' time, robots will also be doing tasks like cooking,
laundry, and even shopping. Whatever the tasks turn out to be, robots are surely bound
to play an increasingly large role in all our lives.
