ok , in the movie The Matrix , the reason for the robots / AI taking control over humans is that they need a source of power to power themselves , ie humans are used as batteries since no other energy source is available. But , note that a human can't produce energy / power unless a human is fed with food / equivalent &#92;. So the robots / AI should be feeding humans with something to extract energy, right ?. If so where did / does the robots / Ai get that source of food / equivalent. If the Robots used food , then to create that food some energy should have been used. Note that there are no perfect energy convertor , even nature has lossess for each process that it does , eg - humans radiate heat when the run , implies all the energy in the human body isn't been used for running, which imples ineffieciency. There is ineffiency all over, so the reason that robot/AI take over humans is a major flaw in the movie, not sure how it is in the book. what do u think ?

correct. you should go to moviemistakes.com and submit this.

Obviously, don't get that stuff on yourself.  There is also the waste material produced (but all energy production involves waste which is the inefficient use of material in the production of energy).  Finally, remember that no one died at Three Mile Island.

Great question. \n\nYour analogy to man-made devices is somewhat of a backwards take on things, as most machinery is actually made to mimic living things.  Nevertheless, machines or beings, both are designed to take some form of energy from the surrounding environment, and convert it into work.\n\nIn that regard, the brain is very much like a computer that controls the body, but it has one amazing difference that artificial intelligence can't approach (yet.)  The ability to recognize, store and relate patterns to one another.  This is how people are able to do simple things that are beyond the most powerful computers. \n\nWhile our brains do function in a (sort of) binary way, with the firing of neurons occurring or not occurring, they also are able to instantly interconnect experiences (which are just patterns of neurons that fire in a prescribed way based on the chemical triggers) to form new patterns which didn't exist beforehand.  In other words, WE LEARN. What's more amazing is that we can relate things INSTANTLY.  Think about how you can recall a memory from an hour ago, yesterday, or your childhood all in the same span of time.  You can also experience something in the present, instantly connect it to something that happened thirty years ago, and then immediately act on the combination of both the old and new information almost without thinking.  It's miraculous.\n\nThe ability to think like this no doubt stemmed from our animalistic past, and the need to survive previously inexperienced phenomenon, but over time, we've adapted it to be able to create, envision, and imagine things that don't yet exist.  This is something that has plagued computer scientists working on A.I. since the beginning.\n\nGetting back to your original question, I guess we should ask ourselves, does the brain exist to control the body, or does the body exist to transport the brain around it's environment.  Since, over time, intelligence seems to increase in complexity, one would have to say that the body exists to transport the brain around.  This leads us to ask, did intelligence occur spontaneously, or was the body designed to be programmed?  \n\nWith computers, the limitation to the capabilities of the software is ALWAYS the hardware.  Even though programmers always find clever ways of doing things with limited hardware, there is always a limit.  So far, this doesn't seem to be the case with the human brain.  There seems to be no limit to how sophisticated our thought processes can become.  We may only be able to remember and recall a certain amount of information, but being able to INNOVATE, and create previously unimagined connections between things seems to be limitless.  In a sense, we are able to continually "re-write" our own operating systems, based on the new things we learn.  Thank goodness too, because what a drag to think there was a limit on how much we could learn or know.\n\nFor this reason, I'd have to say that if our brains are like computers, they haven't been "programmed" with software in any conventional sense.  They are just too fluid and adaptable to be compared to something as limited as a computer.

The old guy was the Architect.\nHe was one of the last humans left after the machines took over and was put in charge of designing The Matrix.\nThe machines needed The Matrix to fool human beings into believing that their lives were real.. when what they really were were a power source.\nHe was trying to tell Neo that he was wasting his time trying to end the war and that he should concentrate on saving Trinity.\nHe designed it seven times and each time there was a problem, an anomaly, called "The One"\nThis person .. The One... was created by the machines as a battery to power them.\nBut unbeknownst to them Neo....... the final "one" was able to fulfill the prophecy that the war would end between the last surviving humans and the machines.\nThe agents were programs designed as policeman to eliminate\nMorpheus and his people so they wouldnt destroy The Matrix.\nThe oracle was a program designed to tell the future of The Matrix. She also knew the prophecy and wanted to help end the war. So she gave Neo information that he needed.\nShe also told Morpheus that there was such a thing As 'The One" and told him of the prophecy.\nAgent Smith was a Rogue program who was running wild causing chaos. Kind of like a virus.\nEven the machines at the end destroyed him.\nHe wanted to become "real" and was able to start cloning himself.\nHe took the shape of real people but could never survive in the real world as himself.\nThats why he was trying to stop Neo from fulfilling the prophecy.\nIf things kept going as they were, eventually he would have escaped from The Matrix.\nI think they were three of the best films of all time.\nIve seen all three of them about 15 times each.

The human race is more powerful than ever before. We have the power of flight,space travel to the moon and the nearest planet,we can make our own heat and light from harnassing energy at will.As for the man you described,maybe the technology that provides him with the ability to use brain waves to control aspects of the world around him is a step away from godlike power.\n I'm sure that to the ancients who lived in the time of Christ we would seem to be as powerful as gods-but that doesn't make us gods. We will always have human frailties.

You mean like.. the y2k problem was a government cover up for sporks and super-soldiers? Well, they were placed there beforehand the y2k problem. How did they know of the y2k problem? Well they planned the y2k 'problem' and started circulating the sporks in order to keep a certain amount of control of what we use for utensils in common fast food restaurants knowing that more and more people would begin buying those popular breakfast meals. This way, they could keep tabs on how much we bought of those [because there is a correlation between who buys the breakfast meals and a vulnerability to one of their super-drugs], and effectively make a 'mistake' in a margin that they extracted and replaced with the 'breakfast meal' results therefore creating the hype of a 'y2k problem'. They needed to get this information inside of the system before the year 2000 to effectively wipe this potentially dangerous data from existance. The data only made it into a certain super secret document. What could they gain of this? Well they had much to gain. They needed the information on how popluar these breakfasts really were to be able to feed us super sedatives to breakfast meal buyers (which answers the age-old question of 'Is the government controlling fast food joints?') and abduct a few selected buyers for a project to create super-soldiers. These super-soldiers are disguised as those Roomba vacuum cleaners.

A robot is a mechanical device that can perform preprogrammed physical tasks. A robot may act under the direct control of a human (eg. the robotic arm of the space shuttle) or autonomously under the control of a pre-programmed computer. Robots may be used to perform tasks that are too dangerous or difficult for humans to implement directly (e.g. the space shuttle arm) or may be used to automate repetitive tasks that can be performed more cheaply by a robot than by the employment of a human (e.g. automobile production; doctor).\n\nThe word robot is also used to describe an intelligent mechanical device ( machine ) in the form of a human. This form of robot (culturally referred to as androids) is common in science fiction stories. However, such robots are yet to become common-place in reality and development is yet required in the field of artificial intelligence before they approach the robots of sci-fi.\n\nFinally, bots are named after the word robot because they perform mundane, repetitive tasks.\n\n\n\nSO.....\n\nRobots will not take over

Who's this "we"? All 6.6 billion of us? We'd never be able to put together all the needed resources, starting with 7 million 1000-passenger space liners and the necessary 100 trillion tons or so of propellant.\nOK, so we scale down a bit. First, 99.9999% of us volunteer to stay here and die; please step forward. (BTW, this might actually be doable, sending 7000 people to build sealed dwellings and colonize mars, but it would still be a huger project than we have ever undertaken.) \n.... OK, nobody stepped forward, so we try plan b; select a few of our fittest to go; the scientists, artists, guys with guns, hairdressers, telephone sanitizers, etc. plus the, um, necessary biological counterparts to ensure continuation of the species, who must for that reason be chosen for their, ah, sexual attractiveness...\nAnyone remember Doctor Strangelove?

At first I was angered by your question, but when faced with your undeniable facts, I am left speechless. You should emphasize more that monsters do eat humans though to better to connect the dots. A Noble prizeis in your future for sure.

Its been done already!!!! I read a headline about a company (I'm sorry I don't remember which one) that created a robot controlled by brain waves.  WOW!

I liked the I, Robot movie. I forgot how it ended though, I think they put all the new robots away or something. I don't remember too well... However, I think I remember telling someone that they might make a second one though, so I'm going to say maybe. \n\nAlso, it could also be called We, Robots... haha!

Well it it quite difficult imagine a computer running on gas, but it may come due to innovation technology. It is quite practical that whatever the source eg. turbines or heat or solar receptors, the energy "generated" is always converted into electricity which is a standard form used. Now if you want to say that is electricity was'nt there what would we have done, well we would have worked something out. A gas powered land mower is quite practical. Why not a computer for that matter. \n\nAll the best.

Actually, it supon us to judge whether the energy used up is taken as GOOD or WASTED...\nbut our (humans) point electric energy is not considered as harmfull...<for more clarification contact me>

If you want me to use those specific terms it sounds like you're going to just copy what I write for your assignment.  I'd be happy to explain the process to you, by I'm not going to write your homework paper.\n\nThe idea is that plants produce food using energy from the sun, and all other life either directly eats plants or eats things that eat plants.  So all life (except some protists, that, like plants, can make their own food) lives on energy that the plants have harvested from the sun.\n\nI hope you already know what the laws of thermodynamics, photosynthesis, and respiration are.  If not, pay more attention in class or look them up on Wikipedia.  You should be able to figure out how to phrase the explaination in a way that uses those terms on your own.

My favorite quote from The Matrix is from Agent Smith:\n\nI realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure.

Autonomous means no human interaction needed.\n\nSo an autonomous robot would be a machine that can operate itself.

global oil conglomerates aka the cookie monster, greed at it's most BASIC element.  The internal combustion engine has been obsolete since the 1950s.  Oil companies this year have set record profits, so much so  that the US government is  trying to figure out what to do about it.  Renewable energies equates to no profits these companies will sooner shove oil down our throats(WW III) rather than to allow renewable energies to become main stream.  Look for the US government to lead the world into a global government!!!!!
