From The Phoenix: Chapter of Resurrection
As people come to use computers more and more, humans are freed from the tasks of production and intellectual work. Or perhaps they are actually banished from it, becoming mere slaves of computers. That means that robots may actually become the humans, that they may actually become "the people," including you, of the future.
From "The Android: Astro Boy's Futurism," an essay that appeared in the Weekly Yomiuri
Robots that can do all kinds of housework become widespread, and mothers are released from household chores. And then, one day, the childrearing is also left to the robots: children are brought up not by their parents but by machines. Is this the rosy future that we've all been looking forward to?
People are only able to grow mentally through contact with others.
If this is really true, then our world may be heading into a really dangerous direction: a world where children no longer need to go to school thanks to the mainstreaming of Internet classes is already becoming a reality, no longer just a far-off thing of the future.
