How Close Are We To Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot"?

Swords

Were are still a long way from Will Smith being hunted down by bad ass robots but if the machines in the picture to the left are currently used in Iraq, ask yourself just how far has the government gone in the development of top secret research? You have to wonder when in 1980 the Department of Defense was able to publicly disclose its work on stealth technology by revealing the B-2/Stealth Bomber. This means that while you were getting tangled up in your old rotary dial phone, unsure of what a computer was, your government had already built this silent killer and wasn’t afraid of the enemy's knowledge of it. How far have they traveled down this rabbit hole and who is holding them accountable?

Area 51 is what they call "black list". Black list sites are present all over the world. There they conduct research without legal limitations. Area 51, with all its hype, has nearly been put out of commission for some time. These places are typically constructed almost entirely underground for obvious reasons (think I’m crazy Google Earth your house sometime). They have no accountability for their actions and this is a major problem. What happens in a place that doesn’t exist when someone gets killed? Who’s to say, and I know this is only speculation, that Uncle Sam hasn’t already found replacements for human lives on our battlefields.

Typically the government creates the technology but then has the difficult task of making it affordable for mass production. I feel the future infantry uniform is one of these recently revealed concepts out of what seems like science fiction that has been a reality for some time.

The U.S. is the world's largest arms dealer with a history of supplying both sides of war. The world combined spent over a trillion dollars on military defense in 2006 of which America accounted for more than half. It seems U.S. war profiteers supply the enemy with financial and arms resources in return for natural ones ie. oil. They then turn around and kill them with the next generation of U.S. citizens and weapons. Research everything I say, as you should with all things, for yourself and while you're at it, check out U.S. involvement with Saddam Hussein in his war with Iran and Osama Bin Laden's war with the Soviets in Afghanistan.

I see a generation coming up not mistakenly highly trained for future wars involving remote controls in place of machine guns. The army has encouraged, even created, the playing of violent video games to boost recruitment. I agree that robotic machines on the battlefield in place of human life sounds like a good idea. The problem is that human soldiers used to be deployed strictly in other countries. Now we have the 3rd Infantry Division patrolling U.S. streets which is unconstitutional. Are you seeing the parallel here? Soldiers are now being told, and have been for some time, that they will need to be emotionally ready to kill fellow Americans in the name of State preservation. What I am suggesting is that it would be much easier for the generation of video game desensitized soldiers to kill Americans using robotic machines instead of face to face combat. It is the equivalent of flying the B-2 over Iraq and dropping bombs in the middle of the night, missing your targets, as it were, and still making it home for dinner. Just ask the guys who did it. Do you think they have post traumatic stress disorder or is it the guys on the ground who witness the horrendous violence?
