Basho's home burned down in 1682. Thеn, in

This will be havin$ both positive and negative effeсts. on the onе hand, whilе

robots тлriit be d.oing thе boring and d.an$erous jobs, humans wi1i bе dеvotin$

more time to inberestin$ puгsuits. In this тлray гobots is going to be making lifе

a lot easier for humans. on the othеr hand, the widesprеad use of гobots is

going сreatе a lot of future unemployment. People will losin$ thеiг jobs as

robots fill their posltions. And somе robots сould even beсome dangегous. I'm

Some experts say that things have just

gotten too сomplex. William Staples9 who

authored a book on the eleсtroniс age9 tried

to help a friеnd who had just bought a new

stereo. Thе stereo9 whiсh worked before'

wasn't working anymore. "On the front of

the stereo rесeiver it literally had a сouple

of dozen buttons," says Staples. Donald

Norman, who has written about the effeсts

of teсhnologу on people' blames the

designers of these deviсes, not the people

who use thеm...Thе bеst waу to сure

teсhnophobia is to сurе the reasons that

сause it-that is, to design things ж

people сan use and design things that won,t

Dyrenfurth, important teсhnology lЫ. we

сan,t afford to run away from aсtually exists.

To prospеЦ wе have to overсomе our

teсhnophobia and learn to use it.

My new сell phonе, whiсh I bought amonth ago, has beсome a neсessary partоf lifе.I remember the day when I was afraid touse my new сomputer.Noщ thеrе arе psyсhologists who (oв that)help teсhnophobes use teсhnologу.Dr. Miсhelle Weil, who is a psyсhologist,wrote a book about ..teсhnostrеss','
