The Rise of Robots

The future of technology is drastically improving. We just see these in movies before but now we are using most of them, making our lives more convenient. The impossible seems to be possible these days when it comes to high-technology.

Japan, because of its aging population, it has been looking for ways to fill in the gaps in the society. Encouraging foreign people to work in their country doesn't seem to work well that led to the creation of life-like robots. In July, a hotel in Sasebo Japan will have robot staffs. From the front desk to bell boys to cleaners.


GTRIIP will start using the biometric features of iPhones. According to BBC Robot check-in: The hotel concierge goes hi-tech "Guests can securely check in at participating hotel chains using Apple's Touch ID fingerprint recognition technology to access the booking details saved on their device"

We also have hotels using an app to serve as a hotel key called SPG Keyless app which is offered by US chain Starwood hotels.

Other hotels are using social media to promote their services. Some hotels are taking advantage of the popularity of Instagram. It is not a surprise when one day we no longer do a lot of physical activities because of the presence of high-tech gadgets.
