"...machines can readily share their knowledge. As unenhanced humans we do not have the means of sharing the vast patterns of inter-neuronal connections and neurotransmitter-concentration levels that compromise our learning, knowledge, and skills, other than through slow, language-based communication" (Kurzweil 138).
In this quote, Kurzweil is stating that robots are better to have due to their ability of memorizing things. He believes they will help humans in numerous ways and help us with numerous things. Here he is saying that a robots memory will already be programmed and we won’t have to worry about memorizing anything because our memory is faulty anyways. He truly believes that humans have a weak memory since our memory is based on speech while machines are programmed to memorize things, as stated earlier.
In this video, it is showing how having robots can benefit us. This man had lost his hand and it had been replaced with this robotic like hand. However, it does not fully feel as if though he is even without a real human hand. The robotic hand actually helps the name with things that a human hand can do. It helps him eat, write, cook, grab on to things, etc. It benefited him in a lot of ways. It helps him feel as if though he did not even lose a hand. Maybe robots or machines are a good thing for this world, but then again maybe they are not. It all depends on how you look at it and what you believe.
