- Will the U.S. Have a Droid Army? “The U.S. military may be 30 percent robotic by the year 2020…”
- Robocop is coming and he wants your cheese… “The brain drives the robot’s movements.”
- What if Canada fails to save us from the asteroids? “If such an event were to take place above a thriving modern city, the amount of damage caused would likely see the city levelled while loss of life would also be potentially catastrophic.”
- Telepathic Computers: they’ll know what you are thinking… “work with experts in automatic speech recognition and in brain imaging at other universities to research a brain-computer interface with applications in military, medical and commercial settings”
- Robots who can mimic human expressions… “They might easily be fooled to think that this robot not only looks like a human and behaves like a human, but that it can also feel like a human. And that’s not true.”
- Future Combat Systems, here and now
“The grander future envisioned for FCS … getting all the many software-intensive FCS pieces–robots, sensors, howitzers–and soldiers themselves linked on a ubiquitous, high-speed wireless network.”
Before we know it, some psychologically scarred cyborg rat will take over the US droid army, read the thoughts of the Canadian scientists, reprogram the satellite to bomb strategic human targets with asteroids and then laugh at us as we scream into the sky “WHY?!??!”
