Robotics Integrated With Human Body In Near Future? Technology Gulf Between 'Have' And 'Have Nots' Predicted By 2020
What is the prospective future affect of robots on society? New conclusions show that the tremendous automation capacity of robots and their ability to interact with humans will cause a technological imbalance over the next 12 years between those who have them and those who do not. One important area of research may well result in the insertion of robots into our bodies, such as intelligent implants in the brain, which will enhance our logical thought, and nanorobots to be released into the blood to clean our arteries....
