the said technologies has already started to change how we people think. we had started to dream of making robots part of our lives by simply making them help us. while nanotechnology on the other hand serves as a new science for the human raise same principles are used but with a much broader matter. this will help us maximize what ever is available in the market....

For me this technologies will change us by making our human capabilities and talents unused and undiscovered.
It will make people lazier than ever. The more advance the world is, the less we use our own human capabilities.

Yes, I agree, People are lazier when life is easier,,these robotics could also cause unemployment because industries might use them for replacement for humans.

i cant say that im fully agree about these new tech. that we have. because sometimes, hand made products are still good and reliable. people are just so lazy thats why they always depend their works on robots. and they have big trust on to it.

yeah i agree with this too...the more tehnologically advanced a country the lazier they are when it comes to daily living..sometimes they even forgot the basics in life...

Most technology development are being done in Japan. Some of these technology developments are making prostetic robotic arms that is connected in the nervous system. Nanotechnology is still being develop throughout the known world and still finding uses for it. One of the best uses for this nanotechnology is that it will help to cure diseases that cannot be worked on from outside help or in other words, inside the body itself. Nanobots can also help the body supply the nutrients needed by the body. When this happen, terminal diseases such as cancer and other known diseases will be easily cured.

I agreed on what you have said...

this is one good advantage on technology,,it will help a lot of disabled people across the world,,but I also hope that it would be made affordable for them especially for the less fortunate ones because it would really help them a lot

yeah! its a good advantage but i hope in the long run, it wont affect our life and even our environemnt. and i hope that things or scenarios in those movies that i saw wont happen in real life. like robots kill people or they use by those countries that have bad intentions to other country.

these technologies are somehow dangerous to most filipinos. well i guess its just how it works!! we need to deal with it well of course be cautious as well! =p

Technology is all around us. All of these things, the instruments we write or communicate with, the tools we use for repairs, and the equipment through which we see or hear objects more clearly that help us in our daily lives. We interact with practical applications of scientific knowledge. Technologies have been invented to address society's problems or to fulfill its growing desire for speed and convenience.

Industrial robots are somewhat underrated in today's society, but the world owes much to the productivity and quality measures imparted by robotics. Their effect on future generations may well be the assistance they provide in manufacturing faster computers, more intelligent vehicles and better consumer and health products.

Technologies being developed today has really affects the way we live, we can't deny it.. because everyday we use different technologies, in our home, in school and everywhere we look we see technologies. people are moving forward.. nobody wants to move backward, so people as much as possible they create and use more technologies so everything will be easier for them.

Does the future of robotics hold the promise of a dream come true to lighten the workload on humanity and provide companionship. Or the murder and mayhem of Hollywood movies?

When the Czech playwright Karel Capek sat down in 1920 to write a play about
humanoid machines that turn against their creators, he decided to call his imaginary creations 'robots', from the Czech word for 'slave labour'. Ever since then, our thinking about robots, whether fictional or real, has been dominated by the two key ideas in Capek's play. Firstly, robots are supposed to do the boring and difficult jobs that humans can't do or don't want to do. Secondly, robots are potentially dangerous.

These two ideas remain influential, but not everyone accepts them. The first dissenting voice was that of the great Russian-American science-fiction writer, Isaac Asimov, who was born the same year that Capek wrote his notorious play. In 1940, barely two decades later, while others were still slavishly reworking Capek's narrative about nasty robots taking over the world, Asimov was already asking what practical steps humanity might take to avoid this fate. And instead of assuming that robots would be confined to boring and dangerous jobs, Asimov imaged a future in which robots care for our children, and strike up friendships with us.

From the perspective of the early twenty-first century, it might seem that Capek was right and that Asimov was an idealistic dreamer. After all, most currently-existing robots are confined to doing nasty, boring and dangerous jobs, right? Wrong. According to the 2003 World Robotics Survey produced by the United Nations

Robot Arm over Earth with Sunburst

Economic Commission for Europe, over a third of all the robots in the world are designed not to spray-paint cars or mow the lawn, but simply to entertain humans. And the number is rising fast. It is quite possible, then, that the killer app for robots will turn out to be not the slave labour envisaged by Capek, but the social companionship imagined by Asimov.

peace^^ mwah!

yup, panu na ung oldies like ni fe hahahahhahah

>>by the way, agree ako with fe lalo na dito sa philippineshindi pa masyado naeeducate ang tao sa technology like computers kasi kahit parents ko di din masyado marunog with internet. kung magsupport and gov't sa pagdala ng technology sten i think they are responsible with educating the oldies. hekhek...

I agree with you chris.. technologies today has a big affect to us, it is created to do things much easier. at minsan sa sobrang bilis ng makabagong teknolohiya ngyon kailangan nting sumabay dito..

but we still have to think twice that evry action has an equal reaction.... although robots may seem advantageous to us, still it could bring a lot of mistakes to us too!

thats true...some peoople use technology for wrong and bad puproses, and sometimes for their own interests...thats a downside of technology

how sad if all people working in a factory just to feed up their little children at home being replaced by robotics machines and technologies. how sad if they will become useless in the society, working nothing and earning no more. how sad if the society will be modernized, run by robots, and people will be just a puppet along the way....

I believe that when people have more time to think there is more room for new ideas as well. If technology will aid humans from this hectic lifestyle we are in, we can have time for more precious things in life.

Good idea!!because if we are aid by robots to help our daily life we can make our life more convenient and we can do some precious things that were not able to do because of house chores.We can have enough time for our family to hang outs because we have the robots to rely on to our work.Isn't wonderful right....

Jobs which require speed, accuracy, reliability or endurance can be performed far better by a robot than a human. Hence many jobs in factories which were traditionally performed by people are now robotized. This has led to cheaper mass-produced goods, including automobiles and electronics. Robots have now been working in factories for more than fifty years, ever since the Unimate robot was installed to automatically remove hot metal from a die casting machine. Since then, factory automation in the form of large stationary manipulators has become the largest market for robots. The number of installed robots has grown faster and faster, and today there are more than 1 million robots in operation worldwide.

now, is it good or badcreation?

Yeah it's like both bad and good but let's just look at it in a positive perspective cuz imagine that life is pretty hard if we don't continue advancing. We could always stop using robots and stuff but it will backfire cuz we're not used to doing things without them...

[quote=cathy]I think it’s good because robots will never get tired, just give your instructions and it will do what you want. bringing it to the situation of housemaid especially yayas, i encountered a terror yaya in our neighborhood, she is really freak, she keeps yelling on the child and spanking using a long think stick, i might kill this yaya talaga! Aside from that she is really looks like a witch. in this case, if this robot yayas would be implemented, there would be no battered children govern by this impatient yayas anymore.
