1. Why should we make robots?

Coach Jeff:

I think we should make robots because robots can do some dangerous things instead of people. For example, if there is a fire, a robot firefighter could go into the fire to save people’s lives.

2. Do you think it is possible that robots will take over our world in the future?

Coach Jeff:

I don’t think it is possible. I think that robots will be useful helpers for humans, but I think that humans really like freedom so we won’t let the robots take over. I think humans will be careful about that!

3. What kind of jobs do you think are impossible to be replaced by robots?

Coach Jeff:

English teacher! Ha ha! Just kidding! This is a hard question. I think robots can replace humans in many jobs that humans do with their bodies, like putting things together or even making pizza! However, I don’t think robots can replace us in jobs that humans do with their creativity, like inventing new machines or thinking of new pizza recipes.

4. What do you think about the disadvantages of the existence of robots in the future?

Coach Jeff:

If robots do too much work for humans, we might become lazy. Humans need to be active to stay healthy. If humans stop being so active, I think that would be bad for us.

5. Can a robot have a heart like a human?

Coach Jeff:

Do you mean “Can a robot have feelings”? I don’t think so. Maybe someday far in the future, but not now. Sorry, robots. I hope that doesn’t hurt your feelings.

6. How to make up for the problem if robots put many people out of work?

Coach Jeff:

This is a difficult problem. New inventions often take jobs away from people. However, those people usually find new, different jobs. In the past, this has always been true. I think it might be true in the future, too.

7. Would you like to have a robot to cook your dinner?

Coach Jeff:

No, I wouldn’t. I like cooking a lot. Maybe I’ll cook dinner for my robot.

8. I want to ask if Coach Jeff make his own robot, what will it be like?

Coach Jeff:

I want a robot that can help me do some things that I don’t like doing, like cleaning my classroom. Also, because I like music, I want my robot to play music, too. And I also like baseball, so I want my robot to be good at throwing and catching a baseball so we can play baseball together! I guess that will be a pretty strange robot!

9. Did you ever see any kind of robot?

Coach Jeff:

Sure. I went to Japan several years ago. In the train station, there was a robot that could answer questions in different languages. It was pretty smart. And pretty cute.

10. Do you think robots will be smarter that humans?

Coach Jeff:

I think it might be possible in the future. Think about this: parents are smarter than their children when the children are young, but it’s possible that children can become smarter than their parents. Maybe this will be true for robots, too. Humans are the parents, and robots are the children. Maybe someday they will be smarter than us.
