Message-ID: Date: 28 Aug 90 20:28:44 GMT Sender: usenet@ads.com (USENET News) Organization: Advanced Decision Systems, Mt. View, CA (415) 960-7300 Lines: 13 We need to get some more activity into this group, so I am posting a question to all. Where do you see the next breakthrough in robotics coming from and how will the acceptance of robots affect our culture. Since robots could well be 'better' than people, will we ever live in peace with them, will we give them rights, and will we let them control or rule over us. Will they someday be the world police force designed to keep us in order and at peace. -pk
