1. Why does the future doesn’t need us ?

2. Human and Robot
Humans are biological
organisms with a complex
body structure. – Robots,
on the other hand, are
machines made of metal,
plastic, and other materials.

4. A robot : is an
actuated mechanism
programmable in two
or more axes with a
degree of autonomy,
moving within its
environment, to
perform intended
tasks.

5. Autonomy:
means the ability to
perform intended tasks
based on current state
and sensing without
human intervention.

6. The ethical dilemma of robots”
Some :
are drawing ethical codes and legislation
regarding human abuse to robots and vice
versa.

7. The development of emotional
robotics
which allows robots to recognize human
expressions of emotion and to engage in
behavior that humans readily perceive as
emotional also contributes to the ethical
dilemma regarding robots and humans.

8. • Almost every household contain television sets, mobile
phones, and computers.
• There are hundreds of millions of mobile phone subscription,
millions of active Facebook accounts, and several hours of
mobile phone and computer interface.
• The Philippines has currently one of the highest digital
populations in the world and is the fastest-growing application
market in Southeast Asia.

9. • These devices are used as platforms for advertisements,
propaganda, and advocacies to communication, for information
dissemination, as recreational activity and stress reliever, and as
way to bond with family members.
• Though there are uses, some argue that there are ethical
dilemmas that these advancements bring forth.
These include:
The development of emotional robotics

10. • Parents argue that they make children lazy and unhealthy.
• People become alienated from other people because they
are fixated with these devices. Instead of connecting
people, they tend to separate them.
• People who are unable to distinguish from what is right
and wrong are exposed to things which are not suitable for
them.

11. • Also, according to the article “Is Google making us stupid?” by
Nicolas Carr, we become dependent on the Internet that our
intelligence is affected.
• We begin to lose our way of concentration and contemplation and
we began to lose interest in reading longish articles or books.
• Instead, we rely on the speed and ease of the Internet.

Carr,

13. Why the future doesn’t need us?
William Nelson Joy, an American
computer scientist and chief scientist of Sun
Microsystems, wrote an article for Wired
magazine entitled Why the future doesn’t
need us?

14. William Nelson
Joy,

15. Joy warned against the rapid rise of new technologies.
He explained that 21st century technologies – genetics,
nanotechnology, and robotics (GNR) – are becoming very powerful
that they can potentially bring about new classes of accidents,
threats, and abuses.
He further warned that these dangers are even more pressing
because they do not require large facilities or even rare materials
Knowledge alone will make them potentially harmful to humans

16. He argued that robotic, genetic engineering, and nanotechnology pose
much greater threats than technological developments that have come
before.
He cited the ability of nanobots to self-replicate, which could quickly get
out of control
He also voiced out about the rapid increase of computer power.
He was also concerned that computers will eventually become more
intelligent than humans, thus societies into dystopian visions, such as
robot rebellions.

17. Why the future doesn’t need us?
•Joy’s article tackles the unpleasant and uncomfortable possibilities that
a senseless approach to scientific and technological advancements may
bring.
•It is very unavoidable to think of a future that will no longer need the
human race.
•It makes thinking of the roles and obligations of every stakeholder a
necessary component of scientific and technological advancement.
•In this case, it is very necessary that the scientific community,
governments, and businesses engage in a discussion to determine the
safeguards of humans against the potential dangers of science and
technology.
