In the episode “Be Right Back” in the British TV show Black Mirror the power of machines was strongly portrayed. After the death of her boyfriend, Martha was offered a robot of her boyfriend that was created from his social media posts and his texts. At the beginning she thought it replaced him; however, she started realizing that he is not real as he is just data and information collected. However, she did not let go of the robot. She actually could not get rid of it regardless of how unhappy it made her feel. This episode strongly elucidates how power powerful robots can be. As seen in the image below, this was the first time Martha met robot Ash. The robot made her feel that she could touch Ash once again.

She could talk to him, cry with him, and even have sexual intercourse with him. This shows how artificial life and robots can be very deceiving. With everything the robot can do, Martha believed for a while that this robot is really Ash. Even after realizing that he is no longer Ash, she did not get rid of him. For instance, when she wanted to kill herself she programmed the robot to tell her not to kill herself. Robots and the new artificial life can be more powerful than humans. They are not 100% accurate, but they are accurate enough to make humans be deceived. They can play with human’s minds and make them do things they do not want. They go beyond human’s thoughts and capabilities. Who would think that they could see a beloved one who died? The idea that this is even apparent can play with anyone’s mind. As the presence of this type of robot not really apparent now, the meaning behind this is important. It just shows how robots and machines can overpower humans, especially when it comes to emotions and feelings. Humans must be aware of how powerful science can be and how it can change one’s life in an unknown way. This episode was a wake up call for humans to see the deception of science and how it can influence us.

I recently watched an episode of the Netflix series, Black Mirror. It was about a teen, Kenny, who had a virus on his laptop and he was trying to fix it, so he downloaded an anti-virus app. After downloading the app he felt like the virus was removed. What he didn’t know was that this app gave someone access to his laptop camera. One day, Kenny received an anonymous email that included a video him masturbating and a message that said ‘WE SAW WHAT YOU DID’. The anonymous sender threatened to leak this video if Kenny follows the sender’s orders. Kenny was terrified, because if the video was leaked it could ruin his reputation and his family’s reputation. Therefore, he decided to obey everything the antonyms sender asked him to do. Kenny first asked to receive a package from a parking lot. After that, he was asked to deliver that package to a motel, where he met a man who was waiting for a prostitute. It turns out that the package was a cake that had the prostitute’s name on it, which meant that the anonymous sender knew what the man was doing. The anonymous sender then sent the man, a video of him with the prostitute in bed. Since, the man was married, he was also forced to follow the anonymous sender’s orders. The man and Kenny were asked to go to a location together. One had to rob a bank and the other had to drive. After they robbed the bank, they were asked to go to a location. The man was asked to go home, after completing his final task, which was to drop Kenny off at the location, and Kenny was asked to deliver the money to a close location. Kenny met a man in that location and they were asked to fight and the winner will receive the money, that was Kenny’s last task. The man was also part of what was going on, so he was just as scared as Kenny was. However, the only one someone could win the fight was if someone killed the other. At the end, Kenny won, which meant that the video would be deleted, but he got a phone call from his mother and she was crying, because the video was leaked and she had found out that Kenny was masturbating while watching children. Furthermore, the police came and arrested him, since he had just killed a man. The anonymous sender sent Kenny a smiling face, proving that this was all a game and he had lost. The married man went home to find his wife, also crying, since she had found out about the prostitute , and the anonymous sender also sent him a smiling face.

In conclusion, people have the ability to track people’s lives and control them through technology. The anonymous sender had the ability to order Kenny, the man, and many others, and at the end ruin their lives with a press of a button. This is very similar to the reading about drone wars, because the people behind the screen are watching others, without their consent and are able to know information about their lives. This an example of the negative aspects of technology.

I would like to start with how the idea of robots comes from; actually we all agree that there are two kinds of genders in the world, men and women, so this operation explains to us how the soldiers of robots work. Also, there are many different forms of robots like boy woman and adult. In addition, there are many of Japanese roboticists who already have a picture or figure in their laboratory. Actually, there are many efforts from humans all over the world, especially from Japan, to make robots like humans to bore new machines, but it is very difficult because robots do not have reproductive systems. In addition, when we have robots at work or at homes, they will be very useful for us  as they can help mothers to balance between their work and their home. Robots can help old people if they need anything from them, so they will live more than 60 or 70 years which is very good.There are essentially two classifications of humanoid robots as for their gendered encapsulation: those intended to ‘go’ as human and those whose general shape looks to some extent like human morphology. two humanoids that exemplify the presence of mind traits of female and male sex. In summary, the humanoid mechanical autonomy venture was upheld by segmentas it can help in problems which happen Japanese society. As a result, Japanese will solve many problems, such as the old people problem as most of them die because of the effort that they do at their homes and divide the work in Japanese’s home between women and robots

Worse, there are no lists of resources or even tools to figure out where to find materials. There are no book lists, glossaries, or syllabi. Professors wishing to teach the subject are left to create a curriculum for themselves, and students seeking to self-educate are left to dig through journal articles. Humans are surrounded by built objects and networks. So profoundly are humans altering their biological and physical landscapes that some have openly suggested that the proper object of anthropological study should be cyborgs rather than humans, for, as Donna Haraway says, “we are all cyborgs now”.

Cyborg anthropology takes the view that most of modern human life is a product of both human and non-human objects.

How we interact with machines and technology in many ways defines who we are. Cyborg anthropology is a framework for understanding the effects of objects and technology on humans and culture. This site is designed to be a resource for those tools.

Anthropology, the study of humans, has traditionally concentrated on discovering the process of evolution through which the human came to be (physical anthropology), or on understanding the beliefs, languages, and behaviors of past or present human groups (archaeology, linguistics, cultural anthropology).A cyborg is an amalgamation of designed parts and biological body parts. Cyborg, as a word, emerges from twentieth-century technoscience. A derivative of cybernetics, the study of complex technical systems, cyborg connotes a system linking biological and mechanical elements. Ethnographers study the design of systems and mechanical technology, and as such are bearers of technologically enabled selves.

As an anthropologist studying disability, I pay attention to how enabling technologies come to be considered unremarkable, therapeutic, or pathological. This has led me to think about the body of the ethnographer and to conclude that ethnography, as an exercise and practice, is designed not only as a Eurocentric enterprise, but also an ableist one: prototypically, the ethnographer is the bearer of a bodymind imagined to be more mobile and more sensorially enabled than that of the ethnographic subject.

A superficial web search shows minimal information about the moderately new field of Cyborg Human sciences. More terribly, there are no arrangements of assets or even instruments to make sense of where to discover materials. There are no book records, glossaries, or prospectuses. Educators wishing to encourage the subject are left to make educational programs for themselves, and understudies trying to self-teach are left to burrow through diary articles. People are encompassed by assembled articles and systems. So significantly are people changing their natural and physical scenes that some have transparently proposed that the best possible object of anthropological examination ought to be cyborgs as opposed to people, for, as Donna Haraway says, “we are for the most part cyborgs now”. Cyborg human sciences takes the view that the vast majority of present day human life is a result of both human and non-human articles. How we connect with machines and innovation from multiple points of view characterizes what our identity is. Cyborg human studies is a system for understanding the impacts of items and innovation on people and culture. This site is intended to be an asset for those apparatuses. Human sciences, the investigation of people, has customarily focused on finding the procedure of advancement through which the human became (physical humanities), or on understanding the convictions, dialects, and practices of past or present human gatherings (archaic exploration,semantics, social anthropology).A cyborg is an amalgamation of structured parts and natural body parts. Cyborg, as a word, rises up out of twentieth-century technoscience. A subsidiary of artificial intelligence, the investigation of complex specialized frameworks, cyborg hints at a framework connecting organic and mechanical components. Ethnographers study the structure of frameworks and mechanical innovation, and all things considered are bearers of innovatively empowered selves. As an ethnographer examining incapacity, I focus on how empowering innovations come to be viewed as unremarkable, restorative, or neurotic. This has driven me to consider the body of the ethnographer and to presume that ethnography, as an activity and practice, is planned as an Eurocentric endeavor, yet in addition an ableist one: prototypically, the ethnographer is the carrier of a bodymind envisioned to be more portable and more sensorially empowered than that of the ethnographic subject.

The article starts with that there is an argument to distinguish between the aims of the Luddites and the causes of Luddite to introduce the distinction between them and it appeared in Nottingham in England. In addition, it is very necessary to look at the Luddites as their movement developed, as well as to restate their initial basic programs of industrial aims. This is because to know if their movement is static or not. There are some countries like England that use Luddites in trade as they can control prices of goods very well. Consequently, Luddites cause all the best working-class causes of the future and a legal minimum wage. There is some hidden mystery in it not yet ready for development, wrote the Leeds intelligencer as there is a dark, subtle, and invisible agency at work, seducing the ignorant and the inexperienced. After a few years, there was a problem because Luddism was all the time changing, that men started out with one idea which means that there will not be any creative ideas because there was only one system that workers follow which is depending on obnoxious machinery. There is an evolution happening for Yorkshire Luddism does in fact illustrate this theme particularly well. As a result, it  became necessary for the croppers either to rest content with the small, successful jobs they had accomplished. Also, there was a huge problem that preparations did not know how to regard their time, they had to face, were making a sizable contribution to the disorder that reminded them. The most fear of the opponents of the Luddites was that armed insurrection or rebellion was being planned, and it is this belief, real or alleged. Furthermore , it is very vital to find people who can be creative in their work and it is not easy at all to find them or to find examples of people who wrote to inform the home secretary or his local representative of their stockpot. Most of the letters on the basis of which the Home secretary attempted to assess the situation were from local officials such as Fletcher. The most detailed and reasoned assessments came from General Maitland. It is very important that such evidence as does exist for the supposed Luddite insurrection plan should be examined in some detail. This evidence can be examined without any assumptions that all testimony to the revolutionary features of the movement is necessarily false.The first evidence to be looked at is that linked directly with machine-breaking. “Act to put down all the Machinery hurtful to the commonality”, which represented a somewhat less frighten-ing and more constitutional climax to the campaign than that hinted. There is another point which is Luddite annuals have recently achieved fair respectability as a historical source of the oral tradition.  Finally, it is very important for managers to balance the whole workers, so they can do their best to lead their work to progress and also workers will organize themselves to produce the best production for the next attack upon an offensive mill. In addition, when the government makes equality between all people, it will decrease the revolutions and insurrection in our country because as much workers work hard they will gain and so we will achieve justice between people. In summer, we should thank Fletcher as he was the first man who cared about labor issues and so General Maitland otherwise if we do not care about labor force, they will hate their country and they will negatively affect the economics of our country. 

In the past robots were not only available to anyone, but now they have become a sensitive object because they are very beneficial for all humans nowadays. Also, this idea was not only in Japan but it also included The United States and after that the idea spread all over the world. In the past, the robot was not meaning the machine, but it meant servitude or forced labor and by the time it developed to a robot. A robot is a set of different technologies – sensors, tools, communication tools, motors, motors, and batteries – that make it able to interact with an environment with some human supervision, by operating remotely, or even completely independently. Actually, whatever happens in the world the smart robots will continue in development as they are not affected by anything around them. To be honest, it is unfair to control people in Japan that they have not to bear less than two children as when the government does that, they interfere in god’s wisdom. After that, we should  balance between human rights and robots rights because nowadays humans’ life will be very difficult without robots because we can use many kinds of fields and other things, such as our homes and at work. Finally, all countries all over the world should use robots, so they will get much benefits from them as I mentioned in the previous sentence and also they will be very beneficial for the labour force as they can help workers in their work. As a result, they can develop the economy of their country.

Steenhuyse , J. (2017, November 30). Artificial Life Breakthrough After Scientists

            Create New Living Organism Using Synthetic DNA. Independent.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/artificial-life-synthetic-dna-scientists-living-organisms-create-scripps-research-institute-floyd-a8083966.html

            According to an article in the Independent newspaper, there was another breakthrough in science, which was the creation of living organisms by using synthetic DNA. This living organism was created through natural and artificial DNA. The four letters of DNA have expanded into other letters and those new letters were used to create this new living organism. The power of science and artificial life has gone beyond cloning and artificial changes in animals; it can now create on its own living organisms. The point I want to claim is that this living organism is not completely real. Regardless of how real it is, it is not completely alive. The organism was created from artificial DNA; regardless of how much natural aspects were implemented to create it, it still has artificial DNA. To add, this organism was created from E. coli bacteria that has two “unnatural letter” from DNA strand. The term “unnatural” questions the reality of the living organism. The question here is that how can it be called “living organism” if it is made from “unnatural” aspects?

In addition, such living organism will be subjected to a lot of questions from religion. Religious jurists will question how humans can create living organisms, as God is the only entity that we have known that creates living aspects. As there has always been a clash between science and religion, such discovery will magnify this clash. Creation of life is under the hands of Gods, as mentioned in religion; hence, one cannot come and say otherwise. In this sense, the field of science has to be ready for the backlash that it will be subjected to.  All of this shows that the field of science has to be sure of what they are saying and showing the world before announcing such huge outbreak.

In the first movie of the Avengers series, Avengers: Age of Ultron, there is whole scene where robots take over the world and destroy it, acting as monsters and calling out the avengers. However, at the end of the scene the avengers are able to destroy these robots, after an epic fight scene. In the movie, robots are depicted as these machines that are turning against humans and destroying the world, just like they were portrayed in Will Smith’s I, Robots movie.

Organizers of the now postponed 2020 Summer Olympics, wanted robots to be present and apparent during the games.  Toyota partnered with the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic games, in order to highlight Japan’s technological innovation. The robots are designed to be very helpful and help around by retrieving javelins and shot puts, and, also, bringing drinks to spectators and helping attendees with disabilities. Some of the robots, called Field support Robots, are designed to help around during sports events, while others’ jobs is to just be cute and get children involved.  I believe that involving robots in the 2020 Olympics is a great idea, since it changes the way people view robots, as machines that turn against humans, rather than helpful companion machines that are not there to harm anyone.
