In this fast-paced society we live in, technology seems to be the number one fastest progression. Innovators are now working on robots that can almost exactly mimic the human body. This simply scares me. What does it mean? Do they plan on having these robots take over the labor field? Who will control these robots, a master robot? These questions I cannot answer, but if the answer to any of them is "yes", I fear humanity is in danger. If they have robots working on experiments about yeast metabolism (like Adam in the article "Robot Scientists 'can think for themselves'"), and he can finish the experiment, think about it and begin a new experiment then what is stopping them from making an entire lab full of "robo-scientists"? Thats just scary. I do not want our future to turn into a dismal, robot-infested world. The human race will be inferior to the robots, and robots with empathy will figure out ways to destroy us, because we may be seen as a threat. This is all pretty far fetched, but where else can our future lead to with robots that are exactly like humans, except smarter? I know something of this sort will occur, and let me tell you....I hope its not in my lifetime.http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/robot-scientists-can-think-for-themselves-1661572.html
