Career and Daily Life with Robots

Well the career I'm looking at going into after College would probably be in engineering.  I'm not sure what branch I would like to go into for engineering and personally I won't start choosing until a few years have passed.  Also if all else fails I plan on getting a minors in business during college that way if all else fails I can work at and eventually take over my fathers company which is a contracting company.  Engineers use science, economic, social and practical knowledge to design/build/maintain several different things such as machines, structures, processes etc.  Now in an engineering career it seems pretty obvious that I would have to deal with robots on quite possibly a day to day basis.  When designing buildings I may use an automated program to start the design, when building I could work with robots for several different instances such as in welding something together a robot may be used to get the welds that would consume to much time or be too hard for a human.  Now in maintaining things I could work with a robot by having one help fix up the problems with whatever it is that I happen to be maintaining or I could very well be fixing up a robot and keeping it in working conditions to continue its tasks.  Now in everyday life there are robots around us if we are simply paying attention.  Some places I see robots in would be the automated drink dispensers at fast food restaurants.  Other places would be at your own home if you happen to own one of the robotic vacuum cleaners.  Somethings that robots help make easier in life would be vacuuming since now their are robots that will vacuum for you.  Another thing that robots make easier in life would be as said earlier in welding.  Something that would be too time consuming or hard for a human can be done by a robot.  Robots can improve the life of others in many ways of of which is by means of safety.  Researchers are always needing to collect samples of whatever it is they are researching and say that would be the gas in an active volcano.  To collect that gas could be considered extremely dangerous if not that suicidal.  Today though instead of sending a scientist out there to collect the sample they can simply deploy a robot to do it in their stead.  Robots have changed the way we interact to the world by several ways.  Some are for good some may be for the worse.  In a good way; Robots have made driving safer.  Today there are cars that can react faster than a human and stop before an accident happens saving lives.  But for the bad side of things robots could very well have humans losing skills that used to always be used in work.  Today Robots are doing the more dangerous and hard tasks meaning that people don't have to do it themselves.  Now when the human doesn't do that action anymore the skills needed to do it start fading from generation to generation leading to the eventual generation that may not even know what it is at all.  All in all though personally I would say robots have had a positive impact on the world.
