In recent years, companies have begun to design robots as toys for children. These toys have become so popular that people are worried about the effects(影响)of friendships between robots and children.
In 1940, Isaac Asimov wrote a story called Robbie. In the story, a girl made friends with a robot and her mother was worried about their friendship. At the end of the story, the robot saved the girl's life and her mother changed her ideas on the robot. In real life, there are also
different ideas about humans being friends with robots.
Some people are worried because children might believe that robots are humans, not machines. It may seem strange that we can make friends with a machine, but just think of the friendly robots in science fiction(科幻小说), from WALL-E to R2-D2. Could close relationships with a robot confuse(迷惑)children?
Some people think it's possible. In the past, children would play with lifeless toys. But today's robots are designed to express feelings in a human way, and some are able to play with children. When children say they don't want to play, the robots will show their sadness. Also, they show ▲ when they do well in games.
In fact, there's a real danger that humans forget that robots are not humans. In an experiment(实验), researchers in Germany invited 89 people to interact(互动)with a robot and then turn it off. When they finished the interaction, the robot asked half of the people not to turn it off. These people hesitated(犹豫)before they did so and 13 of them agreed to keep it on!
Sometimes robots may make good friends for us. But let's not forget—they aren't living beings and they don't have feelings. At least, not yet.
