Many people think machines will be able to do many jobs that are done by humans and even do them better. The future world can achieve higher efficiency（效率）and enjoy cheaper services（服务）, but it will also be more common（普遍的）for people to lose their jobs.

However, it took the robot nearly 19 minutes to pick up, check and fold them well in 2010, but by 2012, it could be done only in 5 or 6 minutes. It could be some time before machines are able to replace（取代）humans.
