11. Why do people create androids?
We have a lot of courses in colleges that
relates on creating robots. There are lot reasons on why people create
robots/android. It is an application of what we learn in school. Androids are
built in machines that contains program to what they should do. They are known
for having this “Artificial Intelligence” but it is far different from are
intelligence.
In movies, people create androids to have a
purpose. In the cartoon series Jetsons, they have a robot that acts as their
maid. Also the anime full metal alchemist, the protagonist fight together with
the robot and so the robot also serves as a weapon and a protection to the
human.
There are positive and negative effects on
building androids. First, we’ll talk
about the negative effects. Basically, one truth about it is that people create
androids to help them maybe because people nowadays are too lazy to do such
work that a robot can do. People may also abuse their capability because androids
have this super-human capability like for example, we can easily get tired
while a robot has its battery that can be charged anytime. On bad effect also
is that manpower skill can be replaced by androids and can lead to create fewer
jobs opportunity to people. Next are its positive effects. Having built an
android shows the intelligence of a human being because you can apply what you
learn. Having androids can fasten the work done easily. They can also be used
for some dangerous situations for example, you can send a robot in a field and
it can disarm a bomb. They help us to progress more in the field of technology.
We have advantages and disadvantages of creating an android. It’s up to us
whether when and where we'll we use it.
12.
Do androids have free will?
I guess androids have their will but it is
only based on how they were programmed. Unlike humans, we have our own minds to
think and choose what we want. They have limited choices on what to do because
the code is limited only to set the actions of the android unlike humans that
we have time to think and reflect before we do a certain action. Also, androids
can’t have their own freedom because they have their master that built them.
I think, if a certain android have done
wrong, the blame must not be put in the android but it must the blame must be
put to its master. If you have an android, you must be responsible on what it
does because no one else it will follow but its master.. We have big differences with the androids. As we
respect our fellow human, we must also respect the androids and I think that’s
the reason why androids are modeled like humans. They may not have hearts inside
them, but as masters, we should also treat them as humans not just like a robot
that we see physical.
