People are getting very nervous because of how advanced robots are getting... From human bots that talk, to snake-bots that can swim underwater, people are beginning to worry. There are two main reasons, the first one is that Robots are soon going to be involved in the army, ideas of army robots are quite frightening, they could go wrong? Do things to harm there own side? Or course, all technology goes wrong at the testing stages, but surely the army will not even consider robots that havn't been tested. The second, as Professor Noel Sharkey says, one the website above... "I can imagine a future where it is much cheaper to dump old people in big hospitals where machines care for them"... this is worrying... that people wont get human care, and they wont be treated with full repect. Good point.. but Robots are part of the future, and personally, i find it very exciting.
