Awareness of the significance of robotization has not completely bloomed into the societal consciousness. It will impact every area of human life as more and more advanced units are designed and deployed. In general, it is a continuation of the trend which began when humans developed agrarian societies. That is, with greater technology comes greater leisure.

As individuals are gradually freed from the more mundane aspects of physical life, they acquire the opportunity to focus on "human concerns" as opposed to "animal concerns." The peculiarities of sentience are able to be reflected upon. Consciousness is a self-reifying field, so the more knowledge is unearthed regarding the universe's operation, the more our collective progress accelerates.

This is a wonderfully exciting phase of this planet's growth. Do not listen to the doom-n-gloom salesmen, the pessimists, nihilists, and fearmongerers. We are emerging into a greater, more expansive, and more abundant future than most can imagine. The volatility, friction, and strife perceived in the world is nothing more than the growing pains of an incredible transformation.

However, this transformation is not primarily technological. It is more philosophical/spiritual in nature, as that is the area of life in which our species is presently most deficient. It still remains to be seen which path we will take. It's up to each of us to make that decision.
