E.C Android Apocalypse Article

In this article, many things are discussed of machines taking over. The biggest question is will the machines be smarter than us? Stories and theories of "artificial humans" have been around for many years. The fear of them being smarter and stronger than us is on going. There are visions of battles between humans and robots, says Garis. He believes that they will try to take over and wipe out our race. Moravec thinks Garis is compeletly wrong. He believes that humans and robots will work hand in hand. Machines are great inventions to our society and can benefit the human race. Moravec believes that a machine will never be as smart as a human, due to the fact they can never make a simple pot of coffee or write a poem. 

In my opinion, I do not see this happening in the near future. I believe it could possibily occur after I'm dead. Technology is so advanced these days and just in the matter of years it has drastically changed. My parents did not even have black and white television, let alone smart computers. Who knows how the technologically advanced things will be or how our human race will be able to handle them. I think that we should not make artifical humans until our human race knows they can prepare themselves for the worst possible. Even though they aren't making them for something bad to happen, with all the problems we face now, who knows what it could do to society as a whole. The whole war with robots thing seems so unrealistic now, but it's scary to think about it being possible in the future. My opinion of Moravec is that he is naive about it. I feel as if it would end up us being slaves to these robot humans, going back to civil war era. Garis seems to have a more fantasy like idea, but it could happen.
