Thesis: Science fiction presents us with I-Robot, portraying a pessimistic view in which robots are used to destroy and overpower humankind. In contrast, based on several sources, I will argue that although science fiction films like Irobot depict a pessimistic view of robotics, recent advances in medicine and bionics show the real potential and benefits of robots enhancing human life.
To Instruct a sucessful research paper with this argument I will need sources that explain the use and benefits of Robotic medicines and Bionics. I will need to find more film reviews and a book describing bionics.

Blog assignment #5
As we have seen in the course packet Ray Kurzweil in the Singularity is near Demonstrates an optimistic view on robots. In contrast, David Gelernter in his essay " Dream-logic, the Internet and Artificial Thought" is more pessimistic about the possibility of thinking machines. I agree, with Ray Kurzweil I am optimistic about robotics and technology. I feel strongly positive about the future as Kurzweil in chapter five he states " the first half of the twenty-first century will be characterized by three overlapping revolutions in genetics, Biotechnology, and robotics. The "N" Revolution will enable us to redesign and rebuild, and G will overcome the age-old difficulties of disease. Kurzweil explains the beneficial aspects of robots. I believe robots benefit us in everyway. Many people believe robots would not be able to complete certain tasks as humans. I believe it's not about emotions or hallucinations but intelligence which is the greatest force of the universe helping us in various ways. Such in Diseases,poverty, environmental destruction, unnecessary suffering of all kinds: these are things that a superintelligence equipped with advanced nanotechnology would be capable of eliminating additionally a superintelligence.
