Robosex, destined to doom us all.
After reading the article about robotsex and robot marriages, the author gave me the impression that robot-human sex will be the norm by 2050. Levy seems convinced that it will happen, starting with Massachusetts and spreading its way from there. From what I could gather from the article, Robotsex will be more convenient, accessible, safer, practical, and possible more fun than the real thing. Which brings up the question: Will real sex become obsolete?Will we become extinct because of our own doing? While becoming extinct is a scary thought, I can see where Dr Levy is coming from. Robot sex has a lot of things going for it. It can prevent the spread of aids, never become tired or grow tired of you, never criticize your performance, comply with outrageously kinky requests, and will be available anytime, any day of the week. I can picture in the future if you're still a practitioner of old fashioned, organic sex, you can practice your new experimental moves with the Sexinator before trying it out on a real person. This is probably one off the boons that Robotsex can offer person! As for robots demanding rights, I think it's ridiculous! The main reason why robots were invented so that they can do all the back breaking, sweaty, manual labour (sex), so that we can have more time to enjoy ourselves. If they receive rights, it'll severely hinder our ability to abuse them, thus rendering their existence pointless. Then again, not too long ago, we felt the same way about people whose skin colour isn't white and homosexuals. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
