USA today has a story today that in Japan robots are taking over more and more jobs in the workforce. Some suggest that the Japanese society is more open to having robots run parts of their society. Over 20% of the population of Japan is over 65 years old and they are banking on the robots to replenish their workforce. In 2006 the robotic industry was worth 5.2$ billion, and the government said it could be worth 26$ billion by 2010 and 70$ billion by 2025. One reason that Japan is seen as more likely to have robots take over jobs more rapidly than the rest of the world, is that in the media and movies they are portrayed as helpers. This is a far cry from the world destroyers that we see in our movies.
