Is The Human Race Becoming Robotized?

Question

Are people becoming machines...totally unaware of the objective world around them?

Answer 1

Are you saying this because we tend to place ourselves into a routine which in return makes us go a bit numb emotionally? If so then i would have to agree with you. As we get to wrapped up into our own lives that we become less aware of the human characteristics we were born with. I feel that caring and understanding are the most affected.

Answer 2

Yes, indeed.... and the reason is not far to seek. We have become too materialistic and thereby begun to undermine our traditional values that characterised us as human.

We are too concerned and occupied in acquiring and possessing material wealth.... and scarce as they are, this leads us into fierce competition against each other which further derides the great idea of positive collaboration and togetherness that is so distinct a human trait, which was painstakingly developed over thousands of years through valuable experience and wisdom. The materialistic approach and tough competition leaves little spare time for us to try and be human in the true sense. We end up having everything except any spare time for each other.

Answer 3

Yes. At the same time that robots are becoming more human, more aware of the objective world around them...

Answer 4

I was brought up in a Catholic orphanage brain washed most defiantly. Now, I think the The world would be a lot happier and peaceful place with out religion. I have herd so much Crap about religion and people who believe every thing they are told, Yes I agree with the comment that the Ten Commandments is what we should live by . Leave your religious fanaticism and bigotry at home. I think you will be a better person if you do

Answer 5

Hmm... yeah, people are focusing much more on technology and specific items that they could live with them only without having any external environment because that's all they lust for, their materials and the things they own... before many more people were in tune with nature and the natural environment, today they're just too occupied with movies and video games, that is all that makes them happy (not that I'm saying that I'm not one of them...) and at some point humans will be able to sustain all their needs through technology and machines... this will be more efficient, I'm sure, but it could entail some certain disaster I think...

Answer 6

I do agree that we strive for perfection.
Robots are not perfect, nor will ever be.

Humans are not perfect, nor will ever be.
The faults make us human, we are sympathetic
towards human faults, because we are human.
We know what it is like to be human, we don't know
what it is like to be a robot.

I remember a question a friend told me once...
Some woman has babies. The first is bad off.
The second is retarded. The chances of her giving birth to another child are practically nill for her and the baby.
What is your answer?
The logical choice? Abort.
The truth. Beethoven.

Answer 7

I don't think so. Robots are programed, I think we will all always have those moments when we have to do things out of the ordinary and exciting. Its part of being human.

Answer 8

I work in the Post Office sorting mail. I try to think of myself as a robot when I walk in. I go in do my 8 hours of steady mundane work and then go home. When I get home is when I try to come back to life.

Answer 9

No.

We are never more human than when we seem to care about nothing in particular.

Answer 10

You are pretty funny for a human
