Today was certainly a difficult day. That oh-so familiar internal monologue, which
forces me to think about my future here, plagued my mind once again. We had two
visitors - a father and his son - both robots, of course. What affected me the most
was the young boy’s fascination with me; the fact that he realised I was different,
but couldn’t quite determine why. I guess his programming didn’t allow for him to
understand the world and its people before robots. It left me feeling dejected. I sat
down at one point and I just quietly considered how much the world has changed how much people have changed - how much I have changed. This place has been
my livelihood for some many years, and has brought me an immeasurable amount
of joy. But now I am aging and I am starting to struggle and it leaves me with a
sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach; one which won’t go away. Technology is
advancing at such a rapid rate, and it leaves me wondering if there's a place on this
Earth for the last zookeeper.
