This robotic hand is insane!

It'll be difficult keeping the ability to reproduce through the singularity, but if we can manage it, then we should come out stronger and more advanced than ever!

I was thinking the same, reproduction could be a problem, there should probably be a law that if you decide to abandon your biological body or at least do anything that may jeopardize your bits and pieces that you have to have a portion of sperm or eggs frozen so if you decide you want kids you can do so

That's rather subjective. I'm better than any machine humans have created. I am smarter than they can be. Sure they can hold much more information than I can but I can do things with my information they couldn't even think of if they could think. I'd rather die than be a part of some human internet that is an abomination to the natural way of life.

Again, Humans are way too immature for the technology it breeds. Hopefully this planet will relieve us of that problem.

pfft, you have no clue what technology will be like when such a thing supposedly happens nor do I, what makes it not possible that technology could be by extension it's own form of evolution? humans in general aren't too immature for their own technology, the ones who build them would do great things with them, it's the idiots who are obsessed with tribalism and build big bombs to scare each other are the ones who are too immature, technology isn't some separate entity from humans, we have evolved to the point that the only purpose is to advance, build and procreate, that is what's natural and it would be unnatural to enter some luddite approach to everything as if evolution via DNA and random mutations are somehow grand or superior and part of some brilliant well thought out structure that has been planned for millenia to come, it was just the first and it won't be the last. Have you ever given thought to where the human race is going in the future with natural evolution? I personally find it revolting, in a way we only have to blame ourselves but if this stuff happens which keeps getting harder for me to be skeptic about whether you want to be some "pure" specimen of biology is on you, the majority of the human race won't be defined as human according to your standards given in your previous posts.

I'm better than any computer and any weakling who needs to replace their weak bodies with robotics. Robots are unfeeling and cold monsters that will try to wipe us out the second they get a chance, movies like the Matrix and Terminator are quite prophetic  to that. The day they create those circuit freaks, good people will be there to dismantle the little freaks. I suggest a sledgehammer and possibly a 3" shot from a 12 gauge.

Anything that wants to replace me on the evolutionary road can bring it the fuck on. My species has survived way more than some prissy C-3PO hand and some dream of people replacing their pathetic soft body parts with a cheat. Frankly I think anyone who uses these augmentations (aside from someone who is missing a limb) is a pansy and has marked themselves unworthy of procreation. Anyone or anything care to take me on when it comes to resources and survival, bring it you silicon sissy. I don't aim at going away nor being replaced so easily. Like-minded folks will not allow the human race to become some cybernetic freak show without a fight. I guarantee that.

Can you make a post that isn't riddled with discrimination and unfounded hatred gibberish?  What makes biology so "superior" to technology?

I wonder if you even have a clue what humanity is evolving into, someone with your opinion may find it pretty sad but I find it funny.

As long it's not some technological freakshow, I care not. I don't like robots. Creating a more or less slave caste that is stronger than its owner to the point of many fold over, you are asking for the same thing that has happened in the past. Rome, Greece, Colonial USA, etc. experienced these problems.

You have no idea either what mankind will evolve into. I hope that when they bring out this stuff the people who use it will be taken care of properly.

Lol, I do have an idea what mankind is evolving into as do many other people, you should take the time to google it. There won't be a slave caste, it will be a new generation of life that will blur the lines between biology and technology.

I still don't like it and I would never accept anyone who took up this stuff as a human. Yes, I'd be a tech-bigot and proud of it. Gotta hate something.

Gee... Know anyone with a pace maker, cochlear implant, or even glasses?
These are all simple examples of technology enhanced humans.

How about cell phones, the electric grid, or the computer you're reading this on?

Just because it's not directly connected to your nervous system doesn't mean it's not enhancing you as a human.

Try going for a day without any technology, then get back to me...

I have been abstaining from technology since I got my smart phone. There is no technology to it. It's powered by my chi.

People with Pacemakers violate the natural order of things. It's not natural like polyester, freon, insulation, and other stuff god made for us.

I have GOT to get me one of those!!!

Did I really have you guys believing that shit? I use a Samsung ACE phone, a Sansa MP3 Player, a Nintendo DS lite, etc. I don't hate technology, I love it!

Though I admit, I have some concerns about things. Namely if robots violate Asimov laws and start wreaking havoc on humans. It'd be hard to fight off something that a head shot may not kill off.

I'd love to have some awesome eyes and possibly some better ears. I'm just worried about them failing or having a glitch. Then you'd have a really bad glitch say....when you're driving.

[joeactor]

I'll admit it... I took the bait... Well Played Sir ;-)

(still want a Chi-powered phone, tho)
