Blog #8 Robot Visions

In Asimov's ideas and thoughts are very interesting and leave you thinking more and more about the future and what is to come. Rather it be some sort of natural disaster or the creation of the robot taking of mankind, according to the Temporalist there would be some sort of disaster that would end mankind. In sending the robot back in to time they found that mankind was still in existence or rather it was a humaniform that resembled humans so much that the robot sent back in time was unable to tell a difference. Yet the robot did report that there was some sort of sad times but no one would inform him on what this sad time was. They only told him that there was a sad time before this new age and that his exploration of time travel should not go looking into the sad times. In the end Asimov says that he the first humaniform and his task is to make sure the future is informed of the time travel and to welcome the robot when he appears but to only tell him a limited amount of information on the new age. The thought of robots being so human like that its hard to tell the difference if even possible is a scary thought and something that humans should not attempt to create. Yes according to these stories the robots will be totally controlled by humans and made to only obey their orders, there is still the chance or rather almost guarantee that one or more of the manufactured robots will be of erroneous quality and that error could cost lives or several other consequences that doesn't need to be risked. I do believe in robots being helpful and making things easier for human beings but I don't think that they should be so advanced that they feel or learn from things that they do. With the continuing advancements within robotics it's only a matter of time before robots become more human like and the risk of these advancements are hopefully not as bad as what many stories portray.
