Check Out My Robot Arm

I honestly think that this poses a bigger threat than we can possibly imagen..What if our biggest fears were confirmed that fascist I dont know goverment were to have the technology to have an army that were s0 advanced in technology that we regular people would be helpless..Humanity has under estimated the cosiquences of computeriazation

I

pretty amazing...

Robotic legs instead of a car, perhaps. Or, teenagers could get robotic legs that unfold into a small chassis with wheels or tank treads. Cars would become obsolete. Everyone would be more independent, and would likely only use the legs for stairs and such.

Maybe they could use early upgrades as motivators. A child with good grades and behavior can have new robot arms at age nine, wheels/treads at twelve, etc.

What if people made robotic upgrades to themselves?
I could see, parents upgrading their child's body parts, like robotic legs and arms. What if upgrades became rituals? Like when a boy turns 10 he gets robotic arms. When you turn 16 you get robotic legs, instead of a car or something. I hope technology doesn't advance to a negative level.

The software issue is one of my genuine concerns about this sort of technology. Once we can integrate machines with the nervous system, someone's OS is going to need to run it. It's one thing to catch a virus that causes a runny nose, but what if you catch a computer virus that screws up your new leg?

Sign me up, and install Mac OS X while your in there too

I'm all for it!!!

It is interesting that we are coming Hollywood's own prediction of the future. It's almost scary though, I hope we don't have the outcome of those movies...

any relation to the Bee Gees?
Sorry mate, couldn't help it...
Groovy tech...

This technology is growing with the needs of human being. thats OK. I want to talk about terminator philosophia and evolution of huamn. Probably, in the next century, this kind of machines will appear everyday and with the increasing using areas of them the human evolution will fallow another path that we did not think before. the insincts of human are changing I deal, but this kind of jump in the evolution will make some spaces in the human behaviors. Sure, I can no predict a little what is waiting for us, but my opinion, this will create some unfixed problems. This is not mean, we will be setted apart with evolution, that will be part of us forever but every big jumps, brings their negative points with them.
By the way, I am waiting for watch a basketboll match that every player has a mechanical system instand of their original arm or legs. Engineering will be popular for a short time, science will wait and think, what the hell are they doing with their machines, before they can not answer the child questions.

cool film. i wish i had a robot body sometimes. imagine what the Olympics will be like in the year 2525!?
