Blog Assignment #5

       I would be more of a pessimistic person about robotics. I feel as if they are increasing, then there are more chances that they will 'take' over this world!!! People are going to start losing jobs because robots will be used instead!!! its gonna be real bad if people get kicked out of certain things due to new technology. I agree with Gelernter where he says that computers are growing more powerful over time. These possiblities are frightening. As Gelernter says "No computer will be able to think like a man unless it can free associate", i agree with that because i feel as if humans now have an advantage when it comes to using our minds and brains for our thoughts. I am more of a humantiies person. Due to that i dont like the idea of robots, because i feel as if science is coming up with all kinds of things with technology, so what is our purpose in this world as humans? If robots are getting created, then why are WE here?
