Robots and the future

At the beginning of the century, and especially in the fifties and sixties, science fiction found a great source in which to draw avanzadísimos progress of electronics.

The arrival of man into space, the massive expansion and consumer appliances, the speed with which new media carried the news, etc.., Gave rise to think that the future offered a magical scene in which everything was possible. The machines could take over without the slightest inconvenience, because if there appliances such as television or spacecraft, how could not reach where human ingenuity?.

The robots were very fashionable and began to populate the pages of the press, cinema, literature, etc.. Certain androids invented by the human mind could work, exercising the functions less pleasant for men.

The washing machines, vacuum cleaners, sewing machines and all kinds of appliances offered a very encouraging picture for housewives; factories also began to use artificial equipment to increase yields, lowering production costs.

More gender, cheaper and less time, this seemed the slogan of the last stage of the industrial revolution, a phenomenon emerged in the late eighteenth century, but continued his unstoppable career, who falls down. Many see this proliferation of machinery an obvious cause to which blamed part of the blame to another social phenomenon: unemployment.

Sex - The technology is transforming the sexuality and the love humans

The tomorrow's sexuality won't only be háptica, but radically different to as today we conceive it.

The Club of Ámsterdam has celebrated a cycle of conferences recently in which diverse experts exposed your ideas on the future of the sexuality with the incursion of the technologies in our quotidian lives.

Many things have changed: sexual toys of last generation or the pornography in Internet advance at full speed, this last more and more potentialized for the devices hápticos that allow the contact at distance.

For the most romantic, every time you are virtual more weddings and the robots threaten to transform into our couples you stop a lifetime.

The Club of Ámsterdam, formed by a group of experts in prospective (you discipline that you study the future from a scientific and technological perspective), you have analyzed the future of the sexuality like consequence of the immersion of the technology recently in our quotidian life.

Not it is room for doubt that the technology has influenced in our moral values, our form of being related socially and, also, in the sexual relationships. The technology and the sexuality, also, they have made good you crumb from the beginning: the industry of the pron has been one of first o'clock in making use of Internet and in fact it is currently one of the most developed in the Network, where you have transformed into a highly lucrative business.

You have analyzed all the aspects and perspectives of this topic in the frame of your monthly cycle of conferences. Under the title "The future of the sexuality", the experts Marie-Luise Janssen, anthropologist of the university of Amsterdan; Melissa Turns, publisher of the on-line magazine Sexerati.com; Luc Salts, author of a dozen of books referred to cultural and entrepreneurial activities; and Mirjam Schieveld, directress of the Institute Summer of social sciences, contributed your diverse perspectives to this question.

Advance technological

According to the magazine Internetactu, the prospectivistas pointed out that many things have changed as consequence of the technological expansion:

The market of sexual objects of last generation has been shot.

The taboo of the sexuality has ended in grown-ups in an aged world,

New formulas of on-line (as the one that Second facilitates Life, virtual world of social interaction to which you can consent for Internet) pornography have appeared and

The sexuality mediática has been developed, that is to say, the sexuality potentialized by a mean of communication.

On the other hand, they have gone increasing the calls interfaces hápticas (connections that allow the contact at distance) that have transformed the sexuality considerably, especially those that cover the whole body.
The word háptica not makes allusion to the group of sensations visual and not auditory that an individual experiences.

In this sense, you are very curious the machinery devised by the science fiction writer Yann Minh of the one that perhaps, one day, everybody has a copy in your house: NooScaphe-X1.
In the magazine TO thousands tomorrows has been pointed out in this respect that a more realistic (thanks to these interfaces) cibersexo could mean in the future that people are less favorable to search a couple in the actual life.

But the tomorrow's sexuality won't only be háptica, that is to say that won't only be stimulated by the tact at distance, but maybe also radically different to as today we conceive it.

The direct control on the brain by means of special devices will allow us to stimulate cerebral areas related with the sexuality, instead of the sex organs or the erogenous fields of the body, the experts assure.

Also virtual weddings

For those that, besides the sexual satisfaction, they search in the technology romanticism, this will also contribute novelties.

On one hand, the American consultant's analyst Gartner, called Adam Sarner has predicted that in 2015 2% of the American citizens will be married in the virtual worlds, you publish the magazine Networkworld.

These online marriages will have the legal same implications that the marriages of the actual world, the same as the same rights, what will require of the revision of some laws. According to Sarner, the companies will also spend more money in the marketing of products and services for virtual people in 2020 that in the physical world.

For this analyst, the success of the online marriages it will derive of the possibility of having an emotional connection with somebody, although in fact he/she is not known that take care of you and to the one who to take care.

And affairs robotics

But you are not the thing there. An investigator of British called artificial intelligence David Levy, author of a titled book "Love and Sex with Robots" assures in this work that, very soon, the day in that people fall in love with robots will arrive and you want to have them for partners, friends and, even, sex partners or husbands and wives.

This will end up taking place because the robots every time they will be more similar to the humans, and with them we will be able to maintain intelligent conversations and to share emotions.

Although you sound to science fiction, Levy assures that you are possible.

In the last 20 years, they have left developing robots progressively abler of being related with the humans, and that this tendency will continue increasing until we can link ourselves emotionally, to love them or to maintain sexual relationships with them.

Such and like The publishes New York Time, Levy has written that the love with robots will end up being as normal as with other humans and that, also, you will improve the sexual relationships because with them we will "assay" learning things that we don't find in the sexología manuals.

According to him, factors that propitiate the emergence of the sentimental human relationships, as the mystery, the reciprocal attraction or the disposition could also be applied the robots. According to him, for example, these could be programmed to behave as "attracted" by an individual, and to act as you would make it any human in that status.

Also, another advantage exists: people will be been able to make partners to measure, as much as if you want to have a friend to exit or to travel, as if what yearn is a lover or a sentimental partner.

Evolutionary technology - Robots vs human

The Project University Millennium of the United Nations you browse the form in the one that the humans and the robots will be related in the future. One of your analysis scenarios, nominally seat in the year 3000, you were called The climb and drop of the Empire Robot. In that scenario, looking back until today's day:

The robots evolved as the humans and philosophers, jesters, political, speakers, actors, teachers, acrobats, artists, poets and the human less followers' shepherds became. The society had a new system of chaste, and the humans transformed into a tolerated race and somehow minimized by the machines that could scroll them and to improve them in any measure of force, vitality, speed and submitted. The argument more important fact in the application of the genetic technology to improve the acting of the mental humans and physically it was "we have to stay at the same time with the robots." With the resources being scare, the natural and artificial selection began to operate in a serious way, dispensing the available resources among those entities that were the most capable to exploit them, in your biggest part, the robots. How were the humans able to recapture the control? The answer was to use the human ingenuousness, the creativity, occultism, dedication and distraction. You took some time, but you worked. This at the end began to stabilize the population of robots.

Many discard such a scenario and they cross out it of optimist and very oriented to the technological propaganda. You are many examples of robots scrolling human, and the technologies integrated in the Robot Predator and the Missiles Cruise of U.S. they are highly sophisticated examples of artificial intelligence used to murder human.

Many fear to the weapons of massive destruction based on ubiquitous small robots.

Still without a malicious programming, the robots and the humans don't simply have the same allowance or knowledge, driving this to accidents: in Jackson, Michigan, July 21 1984 a robot squashed a worker against a protection bar in the one that seemingly was the first death related with a robot in U.S. In LongBets, a market of futures, is impressive predictions that are a self-defense against that the robots will be an element standard in this century.

Sex with Robots - sexual Androids

At least it is what the investigators of "European say Robotics Research Network" who (Euron) predict that in proximate five years the progress in robotics will be so important that we will have robots with an intellectual development comparable to the human and even higher, the robots according to the organism will have all the imaginable uses for the included man as sexual partners.

Apparently he/she has had so much impact some advance investigations in the related to the sex with robots that a moral upset polemic has loosened with regard to the topic.
Not I doubt that a future is possible to have sex with robots or machines robotizadas what I wonder you are like they will make the boys to satisfy your desires without being hurt (I refer physically) because honestly I don't see any "technical" problem in machines for women, but for boys I believe that you are enough but complicated.
