Androids

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.
