The idea of progress can be defined as an improvement, a development a technical, scientific or social advance which contributes to making the world a better place.
For example, Scientific Progress - Medical advances and cloning.
Social progress with the women's rights or the access at education.
There are also progress in the new technologies with advances in communication: the internet, social media, mobile phones, video games and the robot.
For example Baxter.
It is an industrial robot.
It was introduced in September 2012.
Its face is an animated screen that allows Baxter to express itself by making several facial expressions.
Baxter is also different from other industrial robots because it can learn.
A worker could teach Baxter how to perform a task by moving its hands in the desired motion and having Baxter memorize them.
It takes only 10 minutes to train Baxter to do a job and he is instantly useful.
The robot will continue working in this trained task over and over again, all day long if you'd like until you stop it.
And Baxter is designed to work side by side with people, it's designed to be safe.
It's very simple and easy to use.
Baxter can work in companies.
It can hold objects, move, and replace humans for certain tasks.
Baxter is a controversial robot because it replaces humans.
People are afraid of losing their job because the robot is more efficient and doesn't need holydays.
I think it is dangerous robots working for humans because it can become dependent.
People are intelligent and don't need robots.
To sum up , new technologies develop much since 2000.
The machines become highly efficient and now the robots can replace humans.
