There is no doubting that technology has a major impact on our lives. We live and breathe our computers, smartphones and tablets on a daily basis. However, technology within the next few years is promising to take us to new levels – social interaction with robots that may just lead to love, marriage, and yes, even sex. Is it possible, though, for humans to love an artificial being?
Experts in the technology industry like David Levy are certain this is the next step for the human race. They envision a partner that never complains, is always happy and always ready to service – in more ways than one – and is not moody. It is not unfeasible that a robot can be customized to be a person’s dream partner, simply ask Truecompanion owner Douglas Hines. He debuted his sexbot at an adult expo in 2010 and has already received over 4,000 orders. People, he say, want someone who is emotionally available and oftentimes human companions cannot offer this type of availability. Robots, on the other hand, will always be available.
The robotics behind these humanoids is nothing short of amazing. Not only do the robots speak, but they are sensitive to touch, ensuring that human interaction is responded to. For some people, this is everything that they have desired.
Some people, however, question how far technology really goes. Is it crossing a boundary by offering robots to take the place of human beings? And can robot love really be as good or better than that we experience with other humans? According to some people who already own these human-like robots, not only does it compare to human companionship, but in many ways exceeds it.
Whether or not the trend will catch on is yet to be seen, but according to industry experts, it may not be long before we see these robots as a common occurrence.
