are we going to be robots in the future?

Answer 1

No, but artificial intelligence might rule the earth. Seriously, let me explain.

Chinese are at the verge of creating robots, by the year 2015, we could have some around. People say last generation was the revolution of the automobile's, this is the time for artificial intelligence. And once these robots increase, in the meantime, these rich americans which are billionare's and own high profit companies, are going to buy these robots and use them as cashier's, bankers, cops, etc. Therefore this results in less jobs for mankind, think of all those people without a degree and are stuck working at a low pay job. This will result for unemployment, and people will begin to starve. THAT'S why they say robots might take over the future. They're going to be slaves, but highly intelligent and better than any human being out there. It's horrible.

People might begin to riot once this begins, but do you think these wealthy people care? All they care about is money, there are few rich folks out there that care for any of middle class people.

The Chinese however, will think otherwise. It's America and some other countries that this terror will strike for the people, since to this day it appears like it. Chinese have a pop. over a billion, I'm sure they care about there people.

All in all, a human beings CAN'T become a robot, but the robot will outsmart a person for sure if this happens.

Answer 2

Yes, in a way. Think about it. If you want to make a better machine, you blend the best features of two other good machines, right? If you want to make a better anything, you take the best half of any two other things. This goes for humans as well. This is just a part of nature. 'Nature' meaning both the 'natural world', and the 'nature of things'.

So what's to stop somebody from breeding a dog and a cat? or cloning a cow? Technology, that's it; that's the only limitation. With the right technology, you can do just about anything. They say that at the first encounter, advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

The presently existing technology can already plant electrodes in human brains and allow physically disabled people to control the equivalent of a computer mouse. Artificial retinal eyes are another example.

There's actually not much overlap between the tasks that a human does well, and the tasks a computer does well. School kids already have math tests where they can perform better with a calculator. Also robots and computers can't yet do the things that we take for granted. The total is worth more than the sum of the parts.

Usually when some advantage exists anywhere, for any reason, that's the method that wins out in nature. People can do more with computers than without them, and vice versa, computers can do more when a person is interacting with them. That's called a symbiotic relationship, when two things help each other out. There are a million examples in the world.

Some people have also designed computers that are wearable. By the way, there is all kinds of technology that we attach or put into our bodies to make various types of enhancements or improvements, from eyeglasses, to prosthetic limbs, and replacement joints, and artificial hearts.

The real question is, what do you call human? and what's a robot? If a person has a plastic arm, are they still human?
Where do you draw the boundary? Why do you need to separate the two? Can you? Should you? Can you imagine something 100 years from now that is indistinguishable from either human or machine? What would you call it?

It's hard to believe, but when you think about it, it's just as natural as moving from the horse-and-buggy, to the automobile. Did you know that the mitochondria organelle that is now in all our living cells, was once a foreign invader? It now turns glucose into ATP, the raw energy that we use. We also depend on E-coli bacteria in our gut. Yet, we're still supposedly "human", whatever that is.

Maybe the idea of being a "human" is just a concept that refects our values, and history, and who we are, and stuff like that. It's more of an etherial notion, than a physical manifestation. Yet, nowhere in there did I mention technology. It seems to me that our concept of the essence of humanity is wholely independent from technology. We seem to think that our life-force really doesn't have anything to do with technology. Does it? Maybe we believe that whatever humanity is, it is the soul of our existence. Maybe we have an idealized notion of that, and we don't want anything foreign to dilute or taint that purity. But what if what really makes us human is to invent eyeglasses so we can see better? What if any attempt to shun technology makes us less human, and less alive? Then what do we do? Is it wrong to have sex with robots? :-) just kidding.

The thing is that when you get right down to it, a naked human hasn't changed noticeably in thousands of years, yet the performance of computers doubles every 18 months. We have been dependent on, and thus merging with technology from the very dawn of technology, when tools were first invented. Technology is a part of us, it's just getting more noticeable all the time.

The idea of a "cyborg" seems really futuristic, foreign and unnatural to us, but strangely enough, with the way things have been going for pretty much all of human history, this is the most natural thing that could happen to us. It's in our nature to do these things.

Answer 3

It is physically impossible for a human to become a robot. Although, in the future there is a possibility we may all own a robot. So, although technology is taking over our lifes , there is no way humans can become robots. Although, from technology we are having more health problems and realign too much on it.

Answer 4

no its not possible for you to be a robot
but in the future we may have more robots long after you are dead

Answer 5

Maybe. If you were to transfer your consciousness into a machine, you could be considered to be a robot. That would require us to be able to transfer the state of every one of our brain cells into an artificial brain, which, actually, I don't see why we wouldn't be able to do that eventually.

Answer 6

We get up, go to work, eat, sleep then repeat.

We are already robots!

Answer 7

No, but some of us might become cyborgs, but due to technology, it's more likely that we'll become obese.

Answer 8

No WE are not.

However, we may own or rather rent them in the future.

Answer 9

NOOO A PERSON WOULD HAVE TO B DUMB IF THEY THOUGHT THAT

Answer 10

NO
