Hi Everyone!! I was watching an episode of the old Twilight Zone [in a dvd gift pack that I got from my brother on my birthday] and saw an episode about a robot. I was wondering.... would any of YOU like to have a boyfriend/girlfriend that YOU created? A 'robot' in other words. He or she could be [and would be] EXACTLY the way YOU want 'them' to be. How they look, sound, feel, think, etc., would be your choice. They would never leave you or betray you or do anything else that might upset you. Would something like that appeal to you?! GREAT BIG HUGCraig!!

No, I wouldn't. If someone lived up to my EVERY expectation I would become disinterested at some point in time. I don't want someone who's going to ask me, "how high?" every time I tell him to jump. Sometimes, I want him to ask me why should he. A robot can't do that. They're "perfect". I don't want perfection. I'd rather have imperfection because it's our imperfections that make us unique. I'd rather love someone in spite of their faults than love a perfect robot.

It depends on how you look at it. If you watched Artificial Intelligence you know what I mean. Technically, even though it's a robot I think the more appropriate term would be android. And eventually those robots would evolve to the point of it's own feelings. But it may not understand them. It may just act on them and not know why it's acting that way. The more you "perfect" a robot the more human-like it becomes...and eventually it will come with feelings...scary thought. Because if it can act out love, it can act out anger.
