We are all so busy these days, that even grandma's and granddad's are not able to keep up with babysitting. But fortunately we have the nannybot.
A robot that looks out for your children. This world of digitization is evolving. A world where so many ways of communication are available. Yet the number of loneliness have never been so high. We seem busier than ever, but labor does not increase. In contrast, it is decreasing. No matter how busy we are, we need to keep our children under surveillance. Or do not we have time for that?
Nannybot seems to be the solution. The Nannybot is available for 1800 US dollars. The robot is able to follow children. Sound and voice are recorded and streamed in real time to have a continuous video connection with their parents. Actually, it is just a baby monitor 2.0. Let’s be honest. .
Robots that take over human tasks seems to be something new. but that is not true. Humanity has been evolving around these technologies since forever. Ever since our existence. Technology exist to make things easier. And it continues. It is even possible to exercise with a robotic physiotherapist. I would rather not be in the hands of an AI treat, but the technology is there. Technology will rapidly develop, but the question is where it stops? Perhaps, the Nanny Robot is already our reach even though it is merely more that a sophisticated baby monitor. But what will the future bring?
Personally, I feel more for a future where robots take over our work, so we would spend more time with our children. I would be happier with that than with a Nanny Robot.
