Smart machines or robots, what would you choose? Or would humans work? What do you want?
Yes, there would be robots in places like Antarctica, the Arctic, and more.
But one robot each for everyone on Earth?
Even the poor will have a robot? How would he maintain the robot? Is the battery charging for free? Would electricity be free as well?
Yes electricity must be free in future, but it would take time.
Billions of robots on Earth: some live on roads due to poverty, others sleep in their cars because they don’t have a house; for some, the day kitchen turns to night bedroom. Where would their robots stay and charge? What are they supposed to do with their robots?
For the middle class, life is about a race, a race to do things and earn a living.
Yes, the upper class can afford a robot, and so can the rich and ultra-rich. But what would they do with their robots? Charge them to wait for a tea made in half an hour. Do some cleaning! This is definitely needed as we head towards equality in the workplace. But robotics is not there yet.
But not a billion robots?
A billion robots means traffic jams in markets, as everyone sends their robots to buy vegetables from a baazar (discount market). Everyone wants cheap vegetables, chicken and cheap eggs.
Do you want to bang on a robot on the road each time you go out for a walk?
In some places, like Chandni Chowk, for example, there are so many people coming to buy clothes that if robots are sent there, people would be hurt, as robots are electro-mechanical objects; one hand here from a robot means you can get injured.
Ok, all this later.
At Davos, the timeline given was 1–2 years for robots to reach yours and my life.
Well, right now, robots are learning to walk, which means they’re at the toddler stage. We consider a child an adult at the age of 18 years after schooling. So, we can say robots would learn all the lessons for adulthood in 18 years. What say?
So 18 years have passed for making robots adults and mature.
During this time, AI-based IoT (AI with the Internet of Things) would come, and our fridge would be smart and could order milk on its own from grocery shops.
After that, drones would be there. There is an issue of flying drones; the traffic rules drones must follow to not hurt anyone.
Even the poor can order their morning tea from smart IOT from their night sleeping cars. We can afford more in the coming years.
So there would be a tussle between IoT and robotics, which would win?
Smart fridges? Or smart robots?
Smart machines in kitchens or humanoid robots?
Smart juicer, smart tea machine, smart kitchenware?
Dishwashers are already on Earth; dishwashers would get smarter!
So why do we need billions of robots? Elon Musk says it’s because of abundance!
Well, I will talk about abundance sooner.
Till then, have a nice day.
