Cleaning Robots Dress Up.

Today, A cleaning robot named Roomba is very famous all over the world. Roomba has been developed and produced by iRobot coorporation in America, and there are many Roombe users. And then, one research turned out the fact that 21 out of 30 useres give their Roombas names, and 16 out of 30 users call them not "it" but "he" or "she". It means that many users treat them as pets. In addition, some users enjoy to make them dress up with chamgable covers, others introduce them to parents. Surprisingly enough, most users say that it is fun and enjoyable to "bring up" and "take care of" them. This news seems to be pleasant news. However, I think that it is a little horrible, because People do not distinguish living things from not living things. They see real pets like dogs or cats same as Roomba. I suppose that People have to know how life is imortant, precious, valuable. People treat other lives too much arrogantly.
