Undoubtedly, the development of modern technologies is rapidly progressing. But expectations of any outstanding changes, like robots efficiently doing most of human jobs, is far from reality.

"Expectations that everything will work properly and flawlessly is one of the diseases of the modern humankind and nothing more," observer Ruslan Karmanov wrote for RIA for RIA Novosti. 

According to Karmanov, the idea of global robotization is just a myth. News about any technical progress in this regard is often based on reports like "Company X has optimized the automatization of all production," however they rarely correspond with reality.

Recently, The Guardian newspaper interviewed workers at lon Musk's Tesla factory in Fremont, California, and wrote an article titled "Tesla factory workers reveal pain, injury and stress: 'Everything feels like the future but us'." The publication revealed what a factory worker's life is really like.

"Some of the human workers who share the factory with their robotic counterparts complain of grueling pressure — which they attribute to Musk's aggressive production goals — and sometimes life-changing injuries," the newspaper wrote.
