I used to call my son a klingon when he was little because he was such a mama's boy he "clinged" on to me no matter where I went LOL

Oh and spock is not a cling on...my non trekkie friend...he is half human and half vulcan...being a klingon..well that would be illogical...Sue

half human and half vulture....sheesh....

oooh, that means he could join the "Clean Plate" Club....LOL

now THAT's...illogical....

Ok, I think I need to get a little Zzzzz cause my head is NOT on right....LOLOL

Hey thats what I like about you... when someone says he is not of a right mind who do I think of...could it be "who moi"

Having worked with robotics in the semiconductor industry for over 10 years, I have to say that they're only as smart as the humans that programmed them.

We'd get summoned by various operators that a robot was "freaking out" thereby assigning some sort of intelligence quality or trait to a dumb machine. It always turned out that a previous Mr. Fixit had screwed up the program or tweaked some hardware setting to cause the problem.

Reminds me of the old saying from Navy electronics school. "Garbage in, garbage out." We even had students that would say, whenever they got the wrong answer in math classes, "There must be something wrong with my garbage can". Referring to their calculator.

So no, I don't think that robots will acquire intelligence. If they ever start acting up, there's always the ON/OFF switch.

Sort of reminds me of the Y2K scare.

so no robots that are bored will be amusing themselves like this


or amuse themselves like so





bubye

ROFLMAO!!

Those pictures are hilarious!

Man robots with intelligence hmmm. In I robot with Will Smith that is exactly what that one robot had, but I feel that it is a loooong way off.....err.. well maybe not considering that only a few years ago the computer that is comparable to our laptops was the size of a football field LOL.

Now what about the computers??? That actually worries me more than robots...can you remember Hal??

Shivers in fear!!!

I was gonna mention HAL, that was my fist thought. yeah computers taking over hmmm, almost as good as they are drugging our water so we complacent and dumb lol

interesting? http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/20...tchy/3082054_1

long time ago i read or saw it on science channels about the Egyptians say they came from Sirus in the Orion constellation, yet scientist always said there is no solar system there, hmmmm, think they might of been wrong

That was a mind expanding article, it made me see the universe and life in a whole different way.

If the Egyptians were from there, and wound up here, why did they come, and were they stuck here?

Makes you wonder about the vastness of the universe, and the diversity of life that might be out there. Then you start thinking about the diversity of life just on this planet. Then, if that wasnt vast enough, add some dimensions!

Now we're talkin some serious vastness!

What if every spirits beginning is on a planet in this dimension, in this universe. Each baby/new spirit begins it's life in this dimension to learn.....to get along with other spirits. I am using spirit for lack of a better term

Anyways the life of the spirit would go through a cycle/time before dying, only to be born into another dimension, but still on this planet in this universe.

This could continue on to include many other dimensions, until you get your wings so to speak, and can traverse the vastness. All this time increasing in whatever a spirit would increase in mentally. (Stops to breath)

I did read somewhere recently that most scientists agree that there is some evidence that our race has had large populations that were also more advanced than what has been taught to us. Wonder if they too were from the stars.

Great article Frank.

Yep! I believe we are not far off from seeing these things if our economy, and or country can hang tough here LOL. My family are Trekkie fans like crazy! We also like Star Wars. They have some pretty neat robots in those movies.

Man just think what we could do if we could switch our brains "on" to positronic!!!

I keep on adding to this thought...will have to come and post sometimes about my own take...LOL

thanks for all the inputs...
