Domestic pets to be replaced by robotic imposters by 2025?

In a period of ten years, robotic pets could take the place real objects based from an Australian researcher. A highly urbanized population may result to real animals to stay only for the very wealthy and robotic replica could become something that is usual.

The research was published by Dr. Jean-Loup Rault, an animal public assistant researcher from the University of Melbourne, who mentioned the promotion for robotic pets will depart hastily ten to fifteen years from now, with big technology companies already     maneuvering for rank in the established market.

The explanations for the practicable transposition of robotic models from real pets are such as well might happen to be caused by the high urbanization of the world. Today, more than half of those in the Western countries own a pet with fast-flowing development in Asia, where having domestic pets is viewed as an example of a person’s social status. Nevertheless, with the world population believed to increase to about ten billion by year 2050, Rault doesn’t see how owning domestic pets can stay realistic.

In addition, Rault thinks that attainable outburst in virtual pets popularity could mean something that could either help or hurt. On the one hand, it would permit the older people and those with allergies to own a pet. Yet, if the number of people gets used to not having to act of giving food or exercise a robotic pets, this could have a damaging outcome on how to care for domestic pets.
