Critical thinking
1. Do you think it is possible for a person to love a robot Why
Yes, I do, because the robot thinks and acts like human beings, which can make us forget the differences between robots and human beings. Our love for someone mainly comes from emotion instead of the matter of what we are made of.
Various answers.....
2. What kind of relationship do you think humans and robots should keep Why
Science technology is a double-edged sword
Do regard and use it wisely and critically.
