Robots To Teach English In South Korea

technology has both a positive and negative side...take for instance Japan that has all the technological expertise and are specialist in the field of robotics and allied sciences are having problem today with their children cos their children now acts, thinks and talks like robots do. they've played so much video and computer games and interacted excessively with robots which are really virtual and now they (the Japanese children) act and live a lifestyle that is similar to what i call virtual or simulated. its rather unfortunate how man has so much advanced up to the extent of selling himself off to slavery to his own very creation. lets bring it home, many people will commit suicide, do some dangerous things, or become extremely depressed if one of their tech gadgets gets broken or a malfunction eg broken pc, stolen mobile, bad plasma tv or home theatre system, or their i pod crashed. ok lets take for instance all the noise about blackberry, i phone, c, n and e series nokia phones and the ripple they are causing with our youths and even some of our elderly tech gizmos. if the koreans has finally embraced the option of Robot Assisted Teaching/Learning (RAT/L), good for them but let african continents find a better alternative to such RAT/L but if its necessary for africa to embrace it, they should do so with caution and if need be restraint.
