    I Dated a Robot

    This issue was addressed in a pretty funny manner on Futurama, and I'm surprised no one's brought this up yet.

    They showed a spoof educational film called "I Dated a Robot" which argued (accurately) that all of civilization was just an effort by people to impress the opposite sex. Once people start dating robots, there will no longer be a need to do anything else but, well, have sex with robots. Civilization will crumble.
