Georgia Tech."Robot helps with medication."Photograph. Tech News Daily.Web. 30 April 2013. 12 Feb 2014.<http://www.technewsdaily.com/17904-nurses-prefer-robots-over-human-help.html.>

This article informs you about how people prefer having help from a robot then a human. I found it amazing that not even nurses would mind that these friendly machines would take their places on helping those who need it. The advantage this would give people is that these robots will never complain and they help remind you when you have to take medication.
This article relates to what is going on in our school because we have a robotics club. This could be something that they could be interested on doing; to build a robot that is meant to do favors for those who need it.
Robots helping humans is very interesting; I feel that it would be a good experience trying to see how this would work.At the same time I feel that it can be slightly dangerous because you never know if a robot can have any effects in it.It affects me because if they were to create these robots I would be afraid to consider anyone of my family members to have one because you never know what could happen; but, if it were to work perfectly it would be a great invention to have around to help one of my closest family members.

The structure that the author of the article used helped provide clear evidence and facts. Because they start off asking questions that leave you thinking. Then it goes to the evidence that they had put together helping put a clear idea to a readers mind. Also they had gone and asked nurses how they felt towards it giving them positive answers to their clam. "Nurses surveyed preferred a robot to a human to fill the job of assistant health care worker. And they're not afraid of being replaced by caregiving machines." This proves their clam that people do prefer robots then humans.
