What is a machine made for? To help us in our cumbersome labour. When I'm reading that Japanese and Korean robotic manufacturers are looking for ways to meet manpower shortage, meaning that robots "will be able to look after children and the elderly, do routine housework, guard criminals and hunt down terrorists" (Source), I'm asking myself, whether these tasks better should be done by humans and if not the dull and boring work should be given to robots instead. I remember very old phantasies where people weren't forced to work because machines would save them from that. Men would have leisure and enough time to care for children and the elderly and much more.
