Educational

1. Why does the future doesn’t need us ?

2. Human and Robot Humans are biological organisms with a complex body structure. – Robots, on the other hand, are machines made of metal, plastic, and other materials.

3. A robot : is an actuated mechanism programmable in two or more axes with a degree of autonomy, moving within its environment, to perform intended tasks.

4. Autonomy : means the ability to perform intended tasks based on current state and sensing without human intervention.

5. The ethical dilemma of robots” Some : are drawing ethical codes and legislation regarding human abuse to robots and vice versa.

6. The development of emotional robotics which allows robots to recognize human expressions of emotion and to engage in behavior that humans readily perceive as emotional also contributes to the ethical dilemma regarding robots and humans.  

7. • Almost every household contain television sets, mobile phones, and computers. • There are hundreds of millions of mobile phone subscription, millions of active Facebook accounts, and several hours of mobile phone and computer interface. • The Philippines has currently one of the highest digital populations in the world and is the fastest-growing application market in Southeast Asia. The development of emotional robotics

8. • These devices are used as platforms for advertisements , propaganda , and advocacies to communication, for information dissemination, as recreational activity and stress reliever , and as way to bond with family members. • Though there are uses, some argue that there are ethical dilemmas that these advancements bring forth. These include: The development of emotional robotics

9. • Parents argue that they make children lazy and unhealthy. • People become alienated from other people because they are fixated with these devices. Instead of connecting people, they tend to separate them. • People who are unable to distinguish from what is right and wrong are exposed to things which are not suitable for them. The development of emotional robotics

10. • Also, according to the article “ Is Google making us stupid?” by Nicolas Carr, we become dependent on the Internet that our intelligence is affected. • We begin to lose our way of concentration and contemplation and we began to lose interest in reading longish articles or books. • Instead, we rely on the speed and ease of the Internet. The development of emotional robotics

11. Nicolas Carr,

12. Why the future doesn’t need us? William Nelson Joy, an American computer scientist and chief scientist of Sun Microsystems, wrote an article for Wired magazine entitled Why the future doesn’t need us?

13. William Nelson Joy,

14. Joy warned against the rapid rise of new technologies. He explained that 21 st century technologies – genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics ( GNR ) – are becoming very powerful that they can potentially bring about new classes of accidents , threats , and abuses . He further warned that these dangers are even more pressing because they do not require large facilities or even rare materials
Knowledge alone will make them potentially harmful to humans.

15. He argued that robotic, genetic engineering, and nanotechnology pose much greater threats than technological developments that have come before. He cited the ability of nanobots to self-replicate, which could quickly get out of control
He also voiced out about the rapid increase of computer power. He was also concerned that computers will eventually become more intelligent than humans, thus societies into dystopian visions, such as robot rebellions.

16. Why the future doesn’t need us?

•Joy’s article tackles the unpleasant and uncomfortable possibilities that a senseless approach to scientific and technological advancements may bring.
•It is very unavoidable to think of a future that will no longer need the human race.
•It makes thinking of the roles and obligations of every stakeholder a necessary component of scientific and technological advancement.
•In this case, it is very necessary that the scientific community, governments, and businesses engage in a discussion to determine the safeguards of humans against the potential dangers of science and technology.
