“The
Touch Bionics I-limb hand” showed the most promise of robotics. It was also the
most appealing to me. The clip shows the most advance robotic arm the modern
age has developed. In it a man with a lost limb uses it and shows the advantages
and disadvantages of what this arm can do. It’s positive to know what robotics
can do for people with lost limbs. The arm even has its own brain within its circuits!
However, is it possible for this “brain” to evolve? In the trailer for “I,
Robot” it revolves around a futuristic world where robots are an everyday
thing. The protagonist has a grudge towards them and suspects a robot to be
plotting against mankind which it does. This seems like a threatening view of
what is to come with the advancement of robotics. It’s terrifying thinking that
robots will become a common use just for them to band together against you. It’s
threatening just because they can be physically superior to the common day man.
I believe robots have become acceptable to most people because of the media.
There has been a surge of these robotic films and shows that appeal to most
people. In turn they view these showings and expect for some type of
technological advancement for the future. They have become aware of what robots
can be capable of and probably expect others to solve it. By others I mean the
government or scientists. People know that advance robots with thoughts or
emotions won’t happens anytime soon, but it will be inevitable. It is only a
matter of time and the media pushes these ideas into the peoples mind. Robots
in the modern day seem to be not as threatening because of their capabilities,
but perhaps someday they will.
