Why the Future Does Not Need Us

The future does not require us because of technological advancements. We all know

that many people use technology, and technology workers learn new things about technology

on a daily basis and because of the numerous discoveries that people make, the more

technology improves, the more it is discovered that the robot is being created. Based on what

we've read, there's a good chance that this will happen as a result of genetic engineering and

nanotechnology. I demonstrated that there is such a thing because I witnessed something

where the robot, a small robot that is only commanded by a human, is following the robot. It's

also frightening because scientists will create a virus capable of wiping out humanity if they

become enraged with us. Nothing prevents a robot and a human from collaborating. It's

frightening because we don't know what robots will do to us now that they're smarter than us.
Some scientists do not consider what they are going to do. They build robots but do not

consider what happens to humans. They are completely unaware of the possibility. It can also

have disastrous consequences for people because scientists think incorrectly. If robots become

a reality in the future, they will be able to manipulate many people or even kill them.
