Discuss the questions in groups. Then give a report about the topics.
I don’t think robots will replace humans, because we have creativity and emotions. I think the most important quality that people should develop is being adaptable and open to change, learning lots of different skills that they can switch between over the course of their lives. They should also always be prepared for the future. To prepare for the future, I think we should study new technology so we can understand and use it to help us. We should also not forget about how to do simple things, as they will always be important. We shouldn't let technology make us useless!
