The Neuromancer and modern time
The androids are coming.
The future of the internet introduces in the William Gibson book "Neuromancer". The fact is that we could make many things by using modern technology except by clicking ourselves in cyberspace without computers and special equipment. But if we would turn ourselves on the internet by using the systems, what is giving the brain core stimulation, what means the system would stimulate the brains, we could surf in the net without limits.
The central nervous system cannot even detect the difference between reality and cyber dreams, and those systems would revolutionize everything from entertainment to the military. The people of tomorrow might have extra bodies the robot what they are controlling over the internet by using EEG.
That means the robot would be like the own body of the person. When people are watching some entertainment movies, they would have the same feelings that the actors would get when they are making movies. The simulated reality is the thing that involves big risks. The people can manipulate very easy to remember things, what they are not done in the simulation and real life.
When we are thinking about the brain core stimulation over the internet, that thing makes it possible to change thoughts and feelings in a new way, but the problem is that person cannot separate things, what is happening in cyberspace or real life. Technical telepathy makes new things possible, and as we know many things can do for good and bad things.
Good thing is that the surgeon can control the robots like being self in the theater, but the same way soldiers can control robots at the battlefield. The man-shaped- remote control robots can use in remote areas for many missions, and the skills of robots depend on the controller of the robots. The military robots might have a microwave, ultrasound, or water impulse weapons. The robot must just drink some liquid and spit it with a very high pressure against its opponents, and if there is salt in that liquid the robot can also affect to target by using electric shocks.
But what if we would create a man-shaped android that can make the same things automatically?
This kind of system can operate on Mars or some farther planets. The android could control by using the quantum computer, which controls the body. The base program of the robot is not quite difficult. And if we are thinking that the mission of the robot is to serve and protect humans. The algorithm for that kind of mission is not theoretically difficult to make. Our robot must just be in a certain radius from the base.
But the reactions of that kind of robots should do by using a very large scale. Everything is possible, and that means the computer programs must have an extremely large library of modules. And as you see everything can happen during those missions. Some crew members can get sick, break their leg, or even get into psychosis. And the robot must react to all those cases. It must do how to make surgeons, arresting, or control missions.
Robots like "Sophia" which can emulate feelings are the thing that could interest the military and law enforcement. The robots are very good law enforcers because they cannot make anything, which has no program in their memories. This kind of robots would not get drunk, they cannot affect by using drugs. But the robot that uses artificial intelligence can emulate things like being drunk.
They just calculate how many drinks they get, and also they can meter the alcohol percent. Then their acting can turn to be like a drunk. And that makes this kind of agent robot more trusted than it would be without those abilities. So this kind of social robot can be the perfect agent for special missions.
And they cannot take things like profits. The difference between independently operating robots and robots that must control all the time is the self-operating robot can work also in places where radio waves cannot reach them. That makes them very interesting, but those systems require quantum computers for running complicated programs. The robot could operate through the internet, and it might look very much like a human.
