Why the future doesn’t need us

Due to the advancement of technologies and robotic machines, people today became for
dependent on this creations. Despite the goods of having this invention as daily help to the human kind,
the negative side of being dependent to machines and robots outweighs the positive. It was pointed by
Bill Joy in 2000 that the 21st century’s powerful machines, genetic engineering, and nanotech may
threaten and endangered the human species.

Certain dilemmas and possible reasons are pointed on why the future might not need us; the
human species. With all the possible reasons that was pointed, it all condensed down to one reason, a
time will come that human will no longer be helpful to the elite few. With the advancement and
efficiency of high class and intelligent machines and robots, these elite few will be depending their
workloads to them, and with that, wiping out the human species will be a lot easier for them. It was also
stated in the literature, The Short Run that a species cannot survive to a stronger competitor, in that
case robotic industry will compete with human resources creating deficient resources for humans.

Despite the help that this robots may provide to the advancement of human kind, ethical
problems should also be seen as a vital aspect in decision making. With the advancement of
technologies, scientists and medical professionals continues to search for immortality, and in that case it
already breached the ethical and moral consideration as humans, that only God can give and take a
human’s life. Genetic engineering is also one of the hottest discussion when it terms to ethical
considerations and dilemmas. Ethically, it says that a person is created in accordance to the image of the
creator, and the ethical question here is, why would we change or manipulate a person if he/she was
created in accordance to the image of the creator himself?

When time comes, when everything is automated, if even the smallest details of your life is
already recorded under a software in a high class technology, the amount of personal security will
deteriorate. Even if it is a high class, intelligent machine, it is still operated with someone who knows
how to use it and with that he or she can access your information without you knowing what he did.
Man in nature is curious, and curiosity is the engine of achievement but where will this curiosity take us?
