Use the paragraph to answer the following two questions below.
Many jobs that we know today will someday be taken over by robotics. For example, you may have seen the self-checkout lanes at grocery stores. These machines do the jobs that people used to do, making many human cashiers obsolete. Even though they have some flaws, these machines have benefits as well. They can work without needing a paycheck, and they never get tired. Robots may break once in a while, but unlike humans, they never complain. Some people are worried about losing their jobs, but others are excited about all of the possibilities new technology might bring.
