RUR

In RUR, the play deals with the issue of how humans can one day be ruled by the very robots they created. In a sense this cannot be true. Of course it is hard to say this in an age where everyone is a slave to their XBoxes and their phones, but this doesn't mean there isn't enough facetime. As human race we have to stay true to our nature and incorporate that facetime in our daily lives...after all that's whats gotten us thus far. It is in our innate biology to communicate and use machines as a step stool not a cushion. Machines are essentially the fruit of our creativity, how could we be ruled by something that can only get better depending on us. Maybe a certain robot starts to go rogue. If so, as humans we have the ability to counter it with an even better robot and we all know there is always room for improvement. Of course I do see the underlying meaning I'm just simply playing devil's advocate.
