The Flaws of Flawless Robots

The concept of robots without any flaws is definitely tempting and intriguing.  However, flaws are what make humans, humans.  Robots are our idea of a more perfect being: stronger, smarter, faster, more efficient.  The human race needs to be surround not by perfection, but by the flaws that we provide for each other.  Without each other's faults, we would not be able to learn responsibility, patience, understanding, or even love.  Sure, flaws can get annoying, and can even weaken relationships.  But working through each others' faults together will strengthen your bond and show you true love.  Robots may seem perfect, but that is only because we create them to appear that way.  The robots that humans can supposedly have sex with, confide to, or just play with are not true companions.  I understand that moving forward in robotic technology is important and fascinating, but we need to draw the line of what is considered to be taken too far.

  1. This is like a movie I saw once where you can pick perfect genes to make a perfect child, just because you can have something "perfect" doesn't mean you should!
