Actroid androids are robots that resemble humans very much. They look like us! The line between man and machine is becoming more and more blurred as technology continues to advance. Some welcome this, thinking it is progess, and others are scared of it, as is illustrated in the Terminator movies. Both are legitimate points of view, and can be defend thoroughly. But another interesting question is the line between human and robot. At what point does a machine becoming a human being?
I don't believe I can answer this question in a blog post, but I think an interesting area to study would be when a robot can display originality. When a robot can innovate and discover something humans have not. This will be an incredible breakthrough. It will mean something that can compute much faster than human beings has the ability to invent. This could end up drastically changing the speed at which technology changes, creating a snowball effect. And the final results are probably something we could not even imagine...
