What if?

There is much debate about what constitutes life. We are living in the age where technology are developing very quickly. Will robots to replace the human?

It is becoming period of creating a creature which is exactly the same as humans. Most of the robots can think as logically as we can and they can maybe act approximately the same we do.

"Robbie" is a short film by Australian director Neil Harvey about an aging robot drifting alone through space 6000 years in the future. The process involved downloading 10 hours of footage from NASA archives. Robbie is capable of  experience loneliness, happiness, faith and friendshipthe question is, what are the emotions that are genuine for the robot? Love, lineless, firth… all of this can be simulated, using special program cod. This program would be able to reproduce human behavior according to emotions. We can create new world with new type of “human being” where robots can be used as an excellent simulation tool to investigate the nature of human emotion, empathy, and social interaction

Can the robot convey all emotions through the computer code. Robots are not human, but humans aren’t the only things that have emotions. There is something deeper …something unconscious that even human can’t control. What about soul? Intuition? Can robot feel this? I don’t think so. There is a line which separate robots from human.  Even Descartes asserts that ‘ if there were a machine were to attempt to mimic human beings, ‘we’ would always be able to tell the difference, to preserve the firm distinction between the human and the inhuman.’

Badmington Neil  says “rational thought, quite simply, makes humans human.” 

Robbie lived a long life. Did robot really know what is life?

Rather than viewing robots as machines, researchers are beginning to see robots as an actors, for example. It can autonomously interact with humans in a socially life. A fanny robot Gumdrop from  "Gumdrop Short Film" ( Kendra Trailer). In this short film from feature director Kerry Conran, Gumdrop is a 27 year old Bulgarian robot auditioning for a role in a feature film. Along the way some clever CGI allows Gumdrop to show her skills dancing with Charlie Chaplin and Fred Astaire. The official description is to the point: “A robot’s life story emerges during a casting session.” Gumdrop has autonomy, rationality, self-awareness, responsibility, and  resilience. So, being a "vacuum machine" she decide to be an actress.She lives lake human. She does what she interest in and  likes.

What if robot has a have the same rights and autonomies of human? We should think about it and, frankly, if in a near future it happens not to give strength. Because it can cardinal change the notion human in the word. I suppose, machines were creates to help people, not replace or being them.

New futuristic future, where no one is human describe in "True skin". The  main hero is Kaye. He’s on the run for stealing an advanced modification. Kaye finds himself in danger of losing more than just his humanity. Here we have new nature of mind, memory and learning, where our memory is as a computer’s memory. According to this the memories can be kept in a digital format. The parts of body can be replaced also. The process of education turned into the loading of requisite chip or program. There is an opportunity to install different memories or knowledge. There is new view on humanism. It is Posthumanism  - technological means that will enable the exploration of the posthuman realm of possible modes of being. 

“The future would begin with the end of Man”.

This video scared me. This new world is like a computer game. Can posthumanism responds to the redefinition of humanity's place in the world  in which the "human" is but one life form among many?

I don’t want to belie in it. But we should admit that humanism transforms itself into something new. This ‘new' is that we call posthumanism. Humans have augmented and enhanced themselves throughout recorded history. Freeman Dyson, English American theoretical physicist and mathematician,  makes the case that, "the artificial improvement of human beings will come, one way or another, whether we like it or not, as soon as the progress of biological understanding makes it possible. Their freedom to choose cannot be permanently denied."

The rapid pace of technology changes, without the proper degree of foresight, knowledge, wisdom and hubris could have devastating consequences. The choice of whether to use them, however, should normally rest with the individual.

"Avatar Days" is a new short film  by  Cormac Kelly that examines the fascinating relationship between a World of Warcraft player and their in-game avatar. They go about their banal, daily work (walking through cubicles, driving forklifts), but instead of people grinding out a 9-to-5, it’s their WoW characters 

  Avatar is a way of the human reflection . Very often  people hide behind their avatars which they use in fabricated world. In that world they are absolutely different. Humans would be like: killers, saviors, bandits, warriors. Playing World of Warcraft is different to drown a line between real and virtual world.  They are obsessed of it. I think it’s not connect with t World of Warcraft players   only, but also  all those people who hooked on games. In the video was shown the  human "passions”.
