i.robots. i person?

watched irobots at plaza sing just now. the price of the cheesy hotdogs have finally dropped to oe buck per piece. finally. thankfully.
irobots is a thought intriguing movie. what happens when the machines rule the world, what happens when robots over power man. what happens when we're over reliant on machines and robots. i've examined this issue during my j1 promos general paper essay and the marker was pretty much amused with my ideas. of course, garnering a high grade in the process leaving me shellshocked [cos i had never achieved that sorta gp grades before]. really. is there ever the possibility of us being controlled by robots, being manipulated by robots. what happens when that happens. a robot revolution? this was the scenario shown in the movie. how about in real life? imagine PM goh chok tong passing over his reign of singapore to a robot. cold heartless one who is made of metals and alloys for his body and his brain. not that robots cannot be simulated to feel. like sunny, in irobots. he's cute. much cuter than will smith and his hot body. [though i must admit, will smith does have a hot body]. he feels, alot more than many humans living on this earth now i must say. he feels, he loves, he cares. unlike some bitches i've come to know since yesterday. in that case, i'd rather choose a simulated loving robot than a cold heartless bitch, no matter if it was made of metal and the latter is a full 'warmblooded' human being. i have drifted off topic i realised. but of course, i just had to include that in. will machines ever overtake the world? will machines ever make us less human like, less caring? fraid so. in modern life now, we have machines surrounding us. with everybody's busy lifestyle, the lack of time for human interaction, this has already reduced us to limited internet communication, via MSN, ICQ and even blogs to update people and to chat with people. reliant on the internet for the daily 'human communication'. whatever happened to the human contact, the human thought, the human connection.
oh wells. i seem as though im rambling. i think i am. the more i type the more i make no sense.
but one question that was bothering me, with the presence of robots, will humans evolve to resemble robots and be devoid of the human touch? would we become i persons then, when we submit to others' ideas and opinions, manipulations and controls? would we lose our own personal character and just be mere shadows of what people [or robots] want us to be?
