today we read another short story this one was titled but who can replace man? the story followed a robot that's main purpose was to plow fields and every day he gets orders from humans on what to plant and where to plow, one day the robot does not recive any orders on what to do and after talking to other robots who did not recive orders he finds out that all the humans are dead and the robots are free to rule themselves and the robot dicides to embark on a mission with other robots to got to the city and become the leaders of all the robots and on the way there they run into a group humans and the story ends with the humans asking the robots to feed them and they all answer with yes master. I thought that the story is interesting because in the start the robots were all about not serving the humans and governing themselves but when they met one of the last humans they imediatly switched mind sets and obeyed the human. the intellectual excitment and fantastic assumption go hand in hand together because that what would happen if something wiped out all the humans and all of our machines and robots were left without any instructions? the high adventure is when the robots meet the human and instead of destroying him they obey his commands. the ambigious ending is what happens to humanity do we make a great comeback or do we all die off?
