"We are giving them sensory organs, vision, eyes, RFID sensors, meme sensors, accelerometers. Basically, we are now asking our computers and our networks to observe and manipulate the physical world around us and on our behalf. That is the really big technology event of 2009"

Is this what i think it is??? robots?? i hope the outcome is not the same as in the matrix, robots at some point becoming concious and being able to think for themselves in the future is a horid thought :S.

I think you just got done watching Eagle Eye...

Well the problem with robots and where alot of robotics fails is the conscious which makes choices and decisions based on passed events, occurances and ultimately the ability to learn itself. It is and has been proven that the human mind cannot be re-created robotically because of the complexity of the human mind. You'd be surprised to know that we don't actually know alot about our own mind. In this case not enough to fully create it.

Sure you can create functions and movements and even create this sense of learning and self teaching but it all has to be programmed to act that way and never really learns for itself. It learns because its told to...

(: pitty though
