Who has seen the movie I, Robot? I saw it on TV once and became addicted to it. Here is the link to the movie homepage:

For those of you who have seen the movie, do you think we could revolutonize robots in the next couple of decades as the movie states?

I read the book years ago, and loved the movie!

I believe we are much closer to the kind of robotics shown than the public thinks.
I do not believe we could survive having the robots do all our work, though.-- humans need stimuli to progress. If we don't keep moving (physically and intellectually) we will stagnate.
Be interesting to see what it would do to the economy and social structure--Almost everyone unemployed, and could everyone afford them? or would we create a new lower caste slave system besides the robots?

I think so. If you could program behaviors into the robot, it could be done.

It's hard to think of how they would look at something, like a dirty house, and just know when and how to clean it though. Maybe, just maybe, we will be able to perfect robots. Who knows, maybe what happened in the movie will happen to us if we make robots! xD

I think robots could over take the world eventually because in the future we will depend so much on them that we could not do anything with out them. We couldn't do stuff like drive, cook, and perform surgeries.

So if they did rebel we would die out. We would die out faster if we gave robots minds, like in I, Robot.

Robots and computer do eventually take over the world in the book, of course one of them was elected. Then they proceed to greatly help humanity until thousands of years later until the foundation series

The debate over robots' effect on civilization is why there are no Star Wars type robots in Star Trek, and androids like Data and Lore are so rare. One of Roddenberry's great fears was that human's would become so complacent being served by machines that we would lose the very drives to explore and create that make us human.
