blog #5 robotics

I am a very optimistic person when dealing with the topic of technological advancements. I believe that because of all these new inventions, life will be easier and life time span will increase. Thanks to new advancements we do not have to worry so much about hard tasks. As an example, there are very little airplane crashes in comparison to when pilots flew the airplane. This is very important mode of transportation because airplanes are starting to become a very efficient way of traveling. Commercial airplanes hold hundred of passengers,hundred of lives that could be lost with a careless pilot mistake. With the autoflight function flying has never been easier! The pilot just sits back and make sure that everything is going accordingly. It has been proven that there are minimal tragic accidents because of the auto pilot.

I dont think that these  machines are taking jobs away from people because as you can see with the example that i provided, pilots are still needed in the industry. The faa needs them to control the autopilot and other instruments in the flight deck. IAs such as these are even providing many jobs for people. The maintenance and engenerring for new technology are opening up  new field so that people can take get their degree in engeneering better technology.

 Other than airplanes  we have new machines that can take care of the elderly. People feel as though their jobs might be taken away from them because of this, but if you think about it, this shouldn't be a threat, it should be a form of motivation to advance and maybe even contribute in making technology of their own. I don't in fact agree with Kurzweils idea that humans will become robots in the future. I believe that that is a foolish idea since humans have their place in this world. There place is to create technology so that everybody can have a healthier easier life. Robots will never be humans since it is impossible for them to contain any form of feelings. Thats why i believe that it is safe to keep constructing robots because they dont have feelings and can never rebel against us.


In conclusion i believe that by going to aviation high school i was influenced into believing that technology is our friend. I learned a lot about electrical equipment and even high tech avionics equipment which are extremely intelligent machines that are almost robotic. i love learning about all the high tech equipment and even though i was considering of going into the aviation field i realized that i want to be a radiologist. Radiology is also a field where many machines are incredibly helpful. I hope that these machines will keep evolving so that the radiology field will keep growing.
