Robots

Robots are programmed to think a certain way, act a certain way, and be a certain way. In today’s society, there are a  lot of them, so beware. Take for example, I was in a pageant one time, and I was in line to go onstage when a girl’s mom who was in line behind me came to her daughter and basically told her that she better win it and that she was counting on her to win. Such big expectations for a nine year old. She was programming her; living her dreams that she could never do as a child through her daughter. Thank God my mom never did that to me.  The girl’s mom had her programmed to think that she should win every thing in life, and that everything would be handed to her with a silver spoon. I would hate to know how she turns out when she has to get out into the real world. Her mom can’t get her a part for a job; she can’t bribe the manager and tell him how good her daughter is; it doesn’t work. See, robots can’t function in the real world. Only real people who haven’t had everything handed to them and know how to actually function can. Real people know how to stand up for themselves without asking the permission of someone else to do something before they do it. I like to think of a good example of robots would be in the movie Mean Girls. Kady Herring lets Gretchin tell her what to do, who she can and cannot like, and even how to dress. I don’t know about you, but that would get sort of old with me. I decide what I want to do, what I want to wear, and who I like and who I don’t like. I don’t need anybody’s opinion about anything except mine. I know that every thing won’t be handed to me in life, and I’ve got to work to get to where I want to be because I’m smart, and I have common sense. On the other hand, robots don’t have common sense.
