The Robotic Age

I have to say that I agree with both. I think creating new technology is what makes this world so great. We have created numerous products that were supposedly supposed to be bad for humanity and in some ways maybe they are. But a lot of them have really great benefits too. I wouldn't go as far as to say I want a computer chip in my head. In addition, I do have some of the same concern of Joy, I don't think that we should give all the power over to robots. They don't have emotions, morals, or thoughts. Even if we were to give them these things, there is no way to tell if they go wrong and no way to stop them if they do. In this sense, I think humans must always have a part in the work. However, again on the side of Kurzweil, robotics will do a great job for medicine and extending the human life. Which is a great for the world as a whole. To be able to replace body parts and fix problems through out the body would be a great asset to medicine. So in conclusion, I think that it is vital that we continue to create and discover new technologies while maintaining full control over the technologies. It's important that we don't loose the human inside us to technology because technology was made to assist living not be life.
