 I am very optimist about robotics and other technologies. I really think that our technology is advancing very quickly. In about 20 years everything will be run by machines or robots. I feel very positive of the future just like Kurzweil. He believes that robots and machines are helpful and can help us do anything. “Is it hard to think of any problem that a super intelligence could not either solve or at least help us solve. Disease, poverty, environmental destruction, unnecessary suffering of all kinds: these are things that a super intelligence equipped with advanced nanotechnology would be capable of eliminating” (Kurzweil,137) I really do think that a very smart machine can help us to end a lot of problems we have now. Many people just can’t accept that machines are smarter than us and that they are the future. Technology is getting smarter because we are developing even more intelligent machines every day.

    I think it will be easy for machines to think exactly like humans and achieve ‘consciousness’ like us. We are creating these machines to think as if it were us. We program machines to think the way we want them to. They will be able to think better than we do. A computer for example can think faster and better than we can. When you search for something on Google it is already there before you finish typing. The future is robotics and machines.
