I think that robots are going to play a very important role in the future, maybe not my future so much, but your future for sure. We've all heard about self driving cars and robots making food, but we're not so aware of robots making important decisions like controlling the stock market. These videos about a robot playing Jenga prove to me that robots will soon be involved in manufacturing which means less jobs for unskilled workers. Would like to be around to see what happens. Not sure I'll see it but you will!

Robots are alright. They are sometimes interesting when they are programmed to do something unique. There are a few educated robots that make learning fun for kids and entertained. But with some robots, (like in Asia) they are pretty creepy and useless to the community.
