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....

I also like the idea.. but what if there are those who abuse this opportunity? parang dadami ang magrerely nlang sa technology..(hehe, isa na ko dun..)

that would be one of the disadvantages of having robots, nice idea then.

American scientists could use robots, cells, and computational modeling to test chemicals and phase out the use of lab animals, thanks to a multi-agency pact announced this week.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Institutes of Health signed a memo of understanding to use new testing methods. The agencies announced the toxicity testing agreement Thursday. The details are published in the journal Science.

Two NIH institutes will work with the EPA to use the NIH Chemical Genomics Center's (NCGC) high-speed, automated screening robots to test compounds researchers suspect are toxic. The robots, created for the human genome project, could perform 10,000 cell screenings, using isolated molecular targets, each day.

NIH said the plan could generate data more relevant to humans; increase the number of chemicals tested; reduce time; and save money. Still, it could take years to validate the new testing methods.

"The experimental and computational expertise required to transform toxicology is an enormous undertaking and too great for any of our existing organizations to accomplish alone," National Toxicology Program Associate Director John R. Bucher said in a news announcement. "This collaborative approach allows us to draw on our individual strengths and establishes a long-term, multiple U.S. federal agency commitment."

NTP is expected to contribute thousands of compounds for testing and lend its animal toxicology expertise, as well as a large database of the chemicals' effects on animals. That will form a basis of comparison for the new cell-based data.

The EPA's involvement is part of its ToxCast program, launched last year use advances in computers, genomics, and cellular biology to improve efficiency of the agency's chemical toxicity evaluation procedures.

George M. Gray, Ph.D., assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Research and Development, urged other federal agencies and private sector companies to join the effort.

The memo of understanding provides a framework for long-range planning called for in a 2007 National Research Council report on modernizing toxicity testing. The report urges toxicologists to collaborate and rely less on animal studies and more on in-vitro tests on human cells and cellular components.

It will make people lazier than ever. The more advance the world is, the less we use our own human capabilities.

very true indeed! though, on the other hand, they can make our lives easier..but we should alweiz be responsible of that so that these robots would not invade our lives, anywei....

ayt!! marami n ngang tamad sa philippines, mas dadami p! wah!
tumpak din na magiging undiscovered na ang mga human capabilities.. kakalungkot isipin.. T_T

ooooopppppssss.... i disagree with your statement..... don't you know that Philippine country is known to be one of the most industrious country in the world... Aren't you proud of you home land??? !!!! are a Filipino??? oh well, if that's your opinion, let's leave with that!!!!

MOst people will love that because it can help us do things easier. People will be more lazy in doing things for their selves. They will simply use these technologies to finished their work in a small span of time.

whoops! i don't agree with this one because humans uses more of their capabilities when we have more advanced technologies we think of a way how to further improve our technologies, setting goal after goal after goal...

pishu close kau nung robot?? hehe!! sabi talaga nila yun?? hehe!
meron pa taung participation, panu pag nasira na sila or nagmalfunction?
tantananantanan!!!! haha! humans to the rescue! tayo pa rin ang pag-asa

peace! mwah!

uu nga kahit na robot pa yan meron pa rin tayong part na gagampanan yun ay ang pag repair sa kanila kung sakali ngang magMalfunction sila at kailangan pa rin nila ang maintenance if not daily siguro weekly or monthly hehehe...

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.

some robots do not last long and some lacks the efficiency to produce that of a great quality and also because some robots malfunctions so it becomes a scrap metal hehehe...

People who cannot afford to buy this kind of technology live a stressful life. But today's technology is very important in society because it makes life easier to live on and not time consuming.

nice neng, tama.. sometimes nagiging materialistic nlng tyo that we tend to buy gadgets or otherstuffs na ndi naman natin msyado kailangan

yeah that's right we buy stuff that we really don't need, but some people buy it for their own enjoyment.

Artificial Intelligence is most prevalent in science fiction stories both in the US and Japan. But it is slowly entering our reality by using this technology as part of a weapon. There is a good side and bad side in this technology...the good side is that it will help us in achieving progress...the bad side is that it will turn back on us and make us its worst enemies (i.e. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines).

1. The possibility of producing not a complete body but just an
organ to save the life of a human being who requires the transplant of
that organ.
2. The cloning of a complete human being whose bone marrow
would help to save the life of his brother ill with leukemia. The
transplant of bone marrow calls for a close biological link between the
donor and the beneficiary, which in the case of cloning is really the
closest possible relationship. In England there was a case where a
woman felt obliged to conceive another child who could provide bone
marrow for her only son who suffered from leukemia.
3.) Cloning will also enable us to understand why nervous cells, unlike the others in the human body, don't multiply.
4.) Cloning also allows the propagation of animals facing extinction and thus maintains ecological balance.

5.) Cloning will also make it possible to have children with the
characteristics of one parent, in the case where the other suffers from
a serious genetic illness that has not yet been cured.

does it make sense guys???

if cloning practiced in this way it will really be advantageous for us humans. but most of the news that ive heard, watch or accidentally read they use cloning for creating a new human race. and this clones were made for the use of making an army to fight with other countries, or to make war... in this way, scientist or involved person were abusing the technology. well, these are not right, definitely not.. hopefully, this technology were used to enrich more of the living of us...

yes there is a big possibilty that humans will become lazy because of the fast phasing technology. but still, it depends to the attitude of a person. if he/she is responsible enouh, he will not rely fully to computers and technology.

But it technology and inventions also have disadvantages like the destruction of the natural resources, human's behavoir and values, which gave the film directors the idea to create movies that someday future human race will be living in a world of robotics, high-end technology equipments with a very scarce or no natural resources left, that water is much more precious than gold. Economic problems would increase like population growth, food scarcity, politics, fading natural resources and other problems that would lead to chaos, denial of religion, and war, before other natural disasters would affect the humanity. Human's dependence on fuel, electricity and other technologies that contributes in destroying the natural resources is a very difficult thing to avoid. We can even ask ourselves, "what if there is no TV? no electricity? or no cellphones?", others would even take a deep breath and say "how can I live without these things?". I also agree that people should be acting as early as possible in saving the world, but all I can do is agree which is easier to say than make an action.

siguro yung mga ganun eh masyadong naging dependent na sa technology. but we can easily adapt because we are humans. gaya nga ng nasabi ko kay jojo eh madali tayong mabuhay kapag nawalan ng technology.

Siguro nga kuya pero hindi kaya talagang dararating ang araw na ang tao ay magiging dependent na lang at wala ng magawa kundi mabuhay kasama nun?

magiging tautauhan nalang tayo ng mga robots in the future..
we should be knowledgeable enough in able to control them

naku!!! watg nman snang mangyari un mhy!!! hehehehe...

I am really concern about what is happening to our environment, mainly because of the technologies that was highly supported and used by many of us. for example cars that polluted the air we breathe, refrigerators and air-conditions that emits CFC which contributes to global warming etc. I think high percentage of the technologies invented and what we are currently using today have contributed to the suffering of the world that we are living in. These technologies affected our lives, it had brought convenience and comfort but we have to accept the fact that we are also destroying our environment. My point is, we need to start being concerned with our environment and we can start researching on new technologies that can lessen the pollutants that is harming the environment. Supporting this kind of technology is worth it because what's important in the end is our mother earth. This would greatly affect our lives and the lives of the next generation. Let's not be selfish by continuing to use bad technologies in the expense of destroying our environment.
Regarding robotics and nano-technology, as long as it will NOT harm the environment it is fine with me. We do not need technologies which can bring convenience to us and at the same time will lead to the destruction of our Mother Earth. We should all learn from the past and not do the same mistakes again.

Technologies can change people like us, because now a days we are all connected to the modern technology. Example of these are the cell phones, computers, ipods, psp and many more. Honestly these technology changes everything for example are the kids, before they are used to play an outdoor games but now they are fun of playing computer games. And like us, now we cannot live without our cellphones. Cellphone nowadays is a necessity and became part of our daily needs.

I believe these are the bad sides of the technologies today. We should limit ourselves in patronizing these kind of products. I believe that playing outdoor game is way better than playing computer games. Personally i will not let my future kids to engage so much in computer games. Is that right bhie?? hehe..

evrything u said is just true and mere facts, but robots and other technology that aid efficient production level may result to unemployment and disregard of manpower. it can also promote laziness of us humans, i guess thats the downside of it

maybe it would be my first time to agree with albert which i dont usually agree of what he always say.. to add with albert's comment, infact robots can destroy also our future.. i mean look for the american movies that they show robots, sometimes they're the one who takes incharge over humans. and by that, they can also be a threat.. dont only look for the bright side.. look also for the dark side. like look for albert. he always got the "dark" side.. hehe.. peace! bounce!

the unfortunate thing here is that this causes unemployment to the poeple.. i am somewhat disfavor robotics in someways.. robotics shall be used in particular areas of the society ONLY and not at all times. it is not that very benificial to the society causing the society be overwhelmed with human resources.

correct...instead that the work of the real people is for them, it turned out that machines do their jobs!!!!

I respect ur ideas (both of u) if ur not that in favor with robotics... or the machnies... but we should accept the reality that to be able to meet a certain quota, companies must be engaged and use those machines... or else we'll be left behind... the productivity that the machines can do are the things which people can't...

___________________________________________________________

i do respect nd accept ur point of view as well, like what i've said hightech robots or machines should be used in particular areas or fields only nd not at times! peash!

easy guys! but come to think of it, who did all those robots and machine?! people right?! it wouldn't exist because of those people..but we still have to accept the fact that those technology built by people are may be into multi-tasking! haiii.. thats life

mm.. on the second thought, tama kayo.. well to be mention kay albert, infairness your mind is already thinking right now.. i guess you upgrade your software from windows98 to windows xp.. not vista coz pa.. hehe.. well tama din si kris.. coz without humans, there would be no innovations.. coz robots can't think.. right diba? bounce!
