http://www.ted.com/talks/pw_singer_on_robots_of_war.html
In this powerful talk, P.W. Singer shows how the widespread use of robots in war is changing
the realities of combat. He shows us scenarios straight out of science fiction -- that now may
not be so fictitious.
About P.W. Singer
In P.W. Singer's most recent book, "Wired for War," he studies robotic and drone warfighters --
and explores how these new war machines are changing the very nature of human conflict.
History says that only humans wage war. This is about to change.
In 25 years, robots will be at least 1 billion times as smart as they are now.
Men fight with remote controlled drones in far-off countries and then go home and help their
kids with their homework.
From an American perspective the use of drones plays to our technology strengths but to the
people we are fighting, we appear weak and lacking courage.
