It seems like we're hearing more about robots, machines, and androids in the media these days especially in our society. The latest issue of GQ Magazine features a Robot Scientist who built 1-2 life-like robots similiar to what Japan was doing to where they can communicate and respond back to humans as If they were human.
Before then was IBM's famous Supercomputer "Watson" that recently won on Jeopardy! while stumping human contestants Ken Jennings and some other guy while trying to "prove a point" while giving money away to charity, then when Whoopi Goldberg or Oprah was offerred to interview Watson she declined being as creeped out about that aspect I'm not surprised.
Why is it that humans are trying to turn science fiction into reality to jeopardize not just the normalization of society but also to change it drastically in a way where it could have devastating consequences?
When is enough enough? Since the 1980's and earlier we've come a long way in advancements in technology which in some cases are associated with extra-terresterials or aliens from outer space utilizing technologies they have possibly used and re-discovering them in the 20th and 21st Centuries. If anyone's seen Ancient Aliens on the History Channel you'll know what I'm talking about.
But this topic is about the future of robots and machines here on Earth and it seems like with the rate technology is going these days it's coming alot sooner than later, I'll admit the kind of technology we have these days is great but I'm fearing that humans are already going too far with it to the point where it just doesn't seem natural. It's already happening as we speak.
