As robotics becomes more advanced and life-like, there has been discussion on whether robots can replace real animals for pets. Write an argumentative essay in which you take a position on whether or not robots can replace real animals as pets. Your essay must be based on ideas and information that can be found in the “Robotic Pets” passage set. (the file attached)

Explanation:

Robotic pets are becoming more and more common and more present in households. These artificially intelligent machines made to ressemble common pets such as cats and dogs now mimic pets more naturally and are less work to take care of than actual pets. Over the years we have heard customers name their robot vacuum like it is a member of their family and urge us to repair them as fast as possible to get their brother or sister back in a timely fashion. They also much prefer repairs than exchanges since they prefer keeping their family member "Alive" than replacing it (or him/her). Now with robots that look and feel like pets, this phenomenon is becoming even more common and these machines or robots are becoming an actual family member or friend much like pets. Researchers mention that the reasons for the possible shift from real pets to robotic versions is likely to be caused by the increasing urbanization of the planet. With rapid growth of pets in Asia, where having a domestic animal is seen as an example of one’s social status, it may not be viable for one to adopt a pet. More realistically, pets will become a luxury possession for people who can afford to sustain their cost and fulfill their needs in terms of space, social, and mental needs according to possibly higher ethical standards raised by future societies. Said Dr. Jean-Loup Rault, from the University of Melbourne’s Animal Welfare Science Centre. “We are possibly witnessing the dawn of a new era, the digital revolution with likely effects on pet ownership, similar to the industrial revolution which replaced animal power for petrol and electrical engines,” the animal welfare researcher wrote. Robotic dogs are likely to be replacing man's best friend in homes around the world in as little as a decade and people are expected to form genuine emotional attachments to their virtual and mechanical animal companions.

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.
