everyone here misses the fact that this is already happening, just not in the way you expected.
Our smart phones have already become part of our extended memory and knowledge base that supplements our brain. The technology to control computers using only our brain is already here and in use for paralytics as well as replacement limbs for amputees that are superior to real ones.
we are surrounded by robots but don’t realize it because they don’t look like the ones we expected from watching movies. I have a robot that washes my dishes, it’s called a dishwasher. I have another that washes my clothes and a different one that dries them, they are called my washer and dryer. I have a robot that wakes me up in the morning, it’s called a clock, and another that turns on and off my air conditioner, it’s called a thermostat, ect.
All of these things are robots, they are just specialty robots designed to do a particular thing, but it wont stay that way for much longer. Technology will continue to leap forward and eventually a robot like we imagined will sweep the world as fast as smart phones did.
Since I have to push my vacuum cleaner around am I under it’s control??
Ive wondered.

Exactly right. Humans and technology have always been a unit. Now the tech is getting better and better. Tech has always enhanced our abilities. It is who we are.
Technology, and the ability to make and use technology, is one of the biggest things that differentiates us from animals.
Computers can make a big difference.
I think the ability to make weapons, the ability to use fire, the invention of agriculture, were all bigger game changers.
