iNOT-Robot

This article that was read really surprised me. I do think that the concepts in this article are very realistic though. People rely so much on technology now a days that it even feels strange for them to loose service when going up to the mountains. Its almost as if loosing a part of them. Weirdly though, this almost seems real. I’ve even seen some movies that can relate. It’s called “Surrogates.” To make it short, regular people started to use these robot bodies so they wouldn’t even have to move from their own homes. They wouldn’t get sick or tired because they control their surrogates from their own homes. I do think if this happened to the world it would be utter destruction. I know this wont happen due to my beliefs, but if it were possible it would be horrible. To be authentically human would be only human, no robot-however that would be-but we would have no programming to us like a robot would. If humans somehow turned into computers or were chipped, they wouldn’t be human anymore. When comparing this article to Brave New World, I don’t think that Bernard is just trying to be romantic when wanting to be different. He believes what he believes like many people in our society. He doesn’t let anybody influence him but just think what he wants to. As I read this article I didn’t agree with what they were talking about. I don’t think this world will be ruled by robots and even if internet gets faster, its bound to happen anyways. So as I finish this up, I am just going to say that I don’t care what kind of treatment people get or medicine they make; people will never be immortal. You cannot cheat death. As soon as you take your first breath when you are born, you are dying from that very breath. As unfortunate as it is, it would take a lot of power that we don’t have to take civilization down.
