Technology has come a long way that has impacted our education system, medical treatments, and everyday life. Think about how fast it is to contact someone via text, call, email, etc. Think about how with the internet it is possible to find almost every logical answer that we could possibly need.
With that being said, the inventions from 2015/2016 articles was interesting to me. There were some inventions that were well known like the self driving car, drones, and virtual reality headset. However, I have never heard of the self tying shoes or the silent hair dryer before. All of these inventions aren't necessities, but a way to make life easier or more enjoyable.
Now on the subject of the robot I have a different reaction. The fact that there is a possibility to have robots is frightening. Why would it be important to have robots in the medical field or on the battlegrounds? In my opinion I think it is giving too much power to a computer. If someone can program a computer to do this "important" work, then why can't an actual human being be capable of doing it? And on the robotic appliances like the footstool or vacuum I think that it is a cool idea to be able to create something that can do that but it isn't anything I would be interested in.
