Reflection paper When I first entered the Cyborg Millennium Class I didn’t really know what to expect. When I went to the class on the first day on the fall 2008‚ I got a bit skeptic and I was thinking that maybe it was a bad idea to register to this class‚ because I thought that this class was for people that liked computers and technology and also that had to know a lot of things that had to do with computers. I certainly wasn’t one of these people that knew a lot about computers or that liked

Summary I chose to watch two movies that almost ask the same question but at the same time the total inverse of the ethical question throughout them. I watched Robocop and Short Circuit. Short Circuit focused on when does life begin or how do we define life while Robocop focused on when does life end how do we define the end of a person ’s life. These questions are the overarching themes of both movies. Short Circuit spends much of the movie trying to define what are things that prove that

Edward Scissor hands The movie Edward Scissor hands is the typical creepy and cute film directed by Tim Burton and showed to the public in the 1990’s.

biology. Robot intelligence may one day far exceed that of human intelligence‚ causing humans to become obsolete. At a bioethics lecture entitled “Bioethics 2025: what will be the challenges?” Dr Dill Haddow predicted that by 2050 we will all be cyborgs. We think of robots as artificial beings created by coding but human beings are also subject to a genetic code- our DNA. Human beings learn behavior in order to survive our surroundings‚ making us superior intelligence. But what if robots could learn

Rodriguez is a human-robot hybrid because he is not instructed to have a purpose but he can do things such as other humans such as smoke‚ eat‚ attend school‚ obtain a job‚ etc. The robots that are cyborgs have low paying jobs‚ servant or crime-related. Very few are rich or have a title in a company‚ but since their human-factory made does it make since for them to have such intelligence when they will eventually just be put into a low category.

words together does not comprise an intelligent message. The complexity of the message is also a factor. For example‚ “The day is dark” is a different complexity level from “nanotechnological advances will accelerate the transition to transhuman and cyborg evolutionary jumps”. It may be difficult for a neuro-scientist to deliver an intelligible message to a kindergartener. The knowledge and intelligence level of both sender and receiver must be factored into the message linking process. The medium
