As for pulling the plow, I seriously doubt that was ever a paying job. That being said, I do not weep for the saddle makers and scriveners. Robot Dreams, by Isaac Asimov (1986) - Analysis INTRODUCTION - What sort of document is it? So she will kill in order to stop the killing. We should also look closely at the evolution of free will in robots. Or, worse yet, they pull out a sack full of coupons and dump change down to pay for their purchase. I have made several of the points that you have made, but there are some points that you mentioned that I did not think about. losing its “face” and the personal touch with customers. Change or … don’t. And, no, no matter how optimistic the prediction, Utopia is not just around the corner. Isn’t that the point? Even though technology is often sold as “saving you time” … the truth is, it doesn’t. Aren’t computers supposed to save us time? The robot also is able to ignore the first two laws of robotics and focus on the third. I was wondering if you would mind if I used some of what you said. That’s creepy and, quite frankly, it’s bad business. If you ever have a minute, you might want to check out Colossus: The Forbin Project; it’s an old sf film about a supercomputer taking over the world pretty much for the same reasons that VICKY gives, Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Unported License. Yeah, sorry, posted it late last night. It was written specifically for this volume and inspired by the McQuarrie cover illustration. title? I don’t mind self-service, or bagging my own groceries if it means I don’t have to wait in line for twenty minutes because the people ahead of me want to complain or gossip with the cashier. Those are lost jobs. I also submit that machines are not always better than people. It also raises the question of whether destroying a free-willed robot is moral or not. I, Robot. In this version of the story, she follows the first law, but is able to interpret it. At the end of the movie, we see a return to the short story, though you don’t get the feeling that robots will supplant humanity. Software didn’t like me. If we get to a point where we don’t have jobs that people need to do..why would that be a bad thing? Technology has allowed for newer and greater opportunities. Why buy a dead tree with day-old news when one can have instant gratification by going to an online news source? Those days are gone, because the corporations know that the work has to get done anyway, and if they don’t provide the person, you’re forced to do the labor yourself. Thanks to Keith Curtis for the help on this one. Dreaming came about because of that, but the dream was almost by design to lead the detective to where he needed to be. A great little book that looks directly into what you describe is Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut – his first novel. While visually more attractive, the movie does not go into as much depth with characterization. He is leading his “people” to freedom. While the same basic plotline was followed, the plot suffered by not having a natural evolution. They both question whether humanity’s own creations will turn upon them. The end result is that the robot has gained self-awareness. We do have some sophisticated presses and bindery equipment, but the cutting and folding machines are pretty low tech. By using logic, the robot went for the person who was most likely to survive. The book causes one to think about the morality of the actions. In Isaac Asimov’s “Robot Dreams,” we see a robot that was created using a new method. While I see your point about losing the personal touch with the customers, in this case it is an artificial way to create unnecessary jobs at the expense of speed, cost and efficiency. Typesetters were completely replaced, in very short order, by new electronic typesetting machines. The movie simply removes a threat from humanity. It leverages your time. Each story has its own limits on what it can tell. But I’ve yet to read Aasimov’s “Robot Dreams”, so I can’t personally compare the two myself. By going this route with self-checkout, the repercussion is not only in lost jobs, but in Wal-mart/etc. I spend eight hours a day throwing stacks of paper into a hydraulic guillotine, cutting it down, and then cutting and folding the paper after it has been printed on.
