We should not be afraid of advanced robotics playing a vital part in our future lives.

We have indeed tried to enslave this planet, and the planet is fighting back at us, global warming? Climate change? More and more species are becoming extinct day after day, and we will feel the consequences. Are we really in control of everything? We are simply using up this planet's resources for our increase in demands, for our technological demands, there is no control over anything. Riots? Wars? Especially civil wars, people are forced to change under these situations, whether is the people in charge or the ones trying to make a difference, no-one is capable of seizing complete control over anything. I actually don't watch much Hollywood films on robotics at all, the only one I know of is 'I, Robot' and I believe that the robots would rise up with their own hive mind is absurd, I never said that they would gain the ability to manipulate this world themselves like us, and definitely cannot control anything. Is the people's idea that we should be using more robots in aiding in our advancement in developing a better civilisation, like you said yourself, we will benefit from technology, sure, that's a perfectly good thing, but we could easily fall into the trap of taking it all for granted without knowing the downsides at all. Infact, we already have. Most people have a mobile phone, sit in front of a computer, and using other electronic devices, but we still do not know the harmful effects that they bring us, we take them for granted, we are the experimental subjects in this day and age, we have all this technology, but how much do we really know about it? Machine Learning is used world wide, and it is beating humans at the speed which they can learn and convey messages, and they are mostly autonomous. You see machine learning everyday you browse the Internet, you get it in your e-mails, but do you know anything about it? No, the vast majority of us don't, and some don't even know of it's presents in our everyday lives. That's the scary part. Big data? There's something else we cannot 'control', we have accumulated too much of it, that we are not even capable of filtering through it all, and guess who's doing the job of filtering? Robots. We need them to know how our planet is functioning, how the people are living with one another, how other planets in our solar system are doing, and eventually how to take over one, we are already planning on relying on robots to take us forward, we are like cyborgs already, we are crippled without our electronic parts, we cannot even 'move' without them. All that big data, police are able to predict crimes and track down criminals, no-one has any secrets anymore. Where are they stored? In machines, and who guard these data? Softwares. Robots will play a key roll in entertainment in the future too, they will entertain your children, the children of your children, robot and human relationships will be thing, and like gay marriage, we are going have to make new laws to govern and 'control', we are bring ourselves more problems. We are not capable of eliminating any soon to be threats, the vast amount of nuclear missiles is the gun that we have placed to our heads unintentionally but we are unwilling to put it down either. And when we take robots too much for the good they bring, we will be unable to live without it, and when they become a threat...there is no getting rid of them. And we all know that's how work, that's how the world is now...who can put down their mobile phone and leave their screens for the rest of their lives? Or for at least a year? No-one, and we simply cannot, because we need technology to get us through our everyday lives, to communicate to work and feed your family. Moving out a bit more, our there on the battlefields, how would you feel if your comrade was killed by a series of computer commands, wires and a metallic exoskeleton? Where's the dignity in that kind of death? And there will be no beating war machines even if they are semi-autonomous. What happens when terrorist get their hands on this kind of technology, which they will. Sure these weapons are protected by professionals that know what they are doing, but do we? Do we know what they are doing? Or why they are doing something? We often question authority and hoping for answers, but we don't always get those answers we want. So control, who is actually in control? Us? Or are we just developing something that we are hoping to be able to control us completely? Because we do not know how? 'and nothing will change that as long as we survive on Earth', If we survive on Earth.
