But it does scare me to think that robots could take over the world and we would have to listen to them. Baxter kind of annoys me though, he moves too slowly. He needs coffee.

I don't know, I think that it's because I watched too many robot movies where robots take control. Or movies where robots are just everywhere.

Just like what happened with the "New world" back in 1492. When Columbus discovered America, many illnesses came with them.

Yes it is cheaper because robots can get more done and for example can build cars 24 hours 7 days a week with just the use of electricity but this is our world we are talking about, it will not benefit our society in the years to come it will only create more poverty and unemployment for the middle class.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204443645684988672.post-56123688125144913702014-09-24T09:32:01.683-07:002014-09-24T09:32:01.683-07:00Robotics is just another step toward inevitable te...Robotics is just another step toward inevitable technological singularity. Looking at Vernor Vinge's theory, supported by Moore's law, it's apparent that technological singularity will occur sometime during this century. How I feel about this, I'm not sure.

This is really freaky, especially how robots actually have creative minds and their capacity is bigger than ours. I see Baxter and he seems slow, like a maid that's just an old lady and takes forever doing stuff for you, but bots will get better and better.

If robots take over some of the most popular jobs what will we do, how can you possibly beat something that is already basically perfect.
