Thoughts on monkeys and robots



Lately, I have been watching programs and reading material about the potential of our future in biology and robotics. And to be perfectly frank I will be the first in line (when it becomes relatively affordable) to manipulate my body, lengthen my life span, and introduce cybernetics to do whatever super powers available.

But this is not what I have been recently considering. I have been thinking about monkeys and robots.

Films sewing this fear that they will take over us and quickly bring humanity to an end are simply false. Monkeys and robots can only make something more awesome.

I say we make monkeys and robots smarter. I say let the chips fall where they may. It isn't like we are doing that swell of a job figuring out this life thing on our own. Maybe we need a little outside perspective.

What could possibly go wrong?
