If you do not think that robots will take over the world
Even with the advances in robot technology, you hear people continue to talk as if humans will be in
charge for the foreseeable future. President G. W. Bush wanted to put humans on the moon and
President Obama wants to put them on Mars. The radiation that a human would receive in a six month
trip to Mars would be substantial. The human was obviously designed to live on the Earth. The cost of
maintaining an Earth-like environment in outer space and on Mars is at least 10 times the cost of
maintaining a robot designed for that environment. When plans are given, the dates for placing
humans on the moon or other planets is decades in the future. By 2020, we will have the equipment to
build intelligent robots and by 2030, we should have the software to do the job. So, why do people set
themselves up for looking so stupid by making statements which will never come true?
