The robotic future involves many aspects, some good and others not so pleasant, but isnt that in keeping with the history of mankind? Humans are always having wars and conflicts over various things. In the future many of our battles of political will over another civilization will be fought not by human soldiers but rather by robots. Which some would say might be a good thing although the robots will be killing other people in foreign lands. Of course on the good side of things we will have robots which cook, clean and will do our household choirs, work in our factories drive our buses, trucks and trains. Perhaps robots will fly our aircraft too or robotic systems rather. The robotic future of the human race will be one filled with choices, options and great new discoveries. It means we must press on into the future but also be careful. Like with any new technology there is good and bad. On the positive side having robotic warriors means we can better protect our civilization; all we are and all we have built. We can defend freedom and liberty the world over. On the flip side the same programs, which are used to protect our nation could be used as a computer virus to have your household robot go bizerk and chase you around the house with a kitchen utensil. Although this sounds rather funny and it kind of is, it does get a little more serious if that kitchen utensil is a butcher knife as it was suppose to be making you a BLT sandwich? Consider this in 2006. |
