I am somewhat in the middle when it comes to robots. I mean they can benefit us in many ways but at the same time, they can do more harm than good. The positive attributes of robots is that it can help us in difficult tasks or tasks that most of us humans now-a-days just wish not to do anymore. Pretty much be our cure to our laziness :) However, I am truly terrified that robots will take over man kind one day which is why I am pessimistic about robots. Yeah, I do believe in some of the things that happens in movies - it's crazy.
In The Singularity is Near written by Ray Kurzweil, he is an extreme optimistic person about robots. He feels they'll benefit us in numerous ways. He feels that, " the 21st century will be characterized by three overlapping revolutions -- in Genetics, Nanotechnology, and Robotics" (Kurzweil 115). His main thoughts when it came to robots was how they could benefit us with medicine. It's true; robots would be a great use for biological purposes.
However, not everyone feels that robots are all that great. in Dream-Logic, The Internet and Artificial Thought written by David Gelernter, he believes that robots will do more damage than good. He feels that they are going to take over our mind.
