Are we moving towards cybernetics faster that we should?

I recently saw a special on pbs called "22nd Century."

So I guess I am on the fence about this subject. It's kinda hard to draw a conclusion when both sides have valid points.

Do we really want the "I, Robot" society? I mean, how lazy do we need to get before we have robots doing all of our work for us. I realize there a select few of us that will be fortunate enough to have the occupation of designing these things and creating prototypes before a machine is built to mass produce them.

My biggest beef with the idea and humans as a whole is that we are no longer creatures of moderation and I am guilty of this too. Everything has to be done to the extent of it being too big, too much, too loud, too quiet, too much!!! Anyone with an iota of common sense knows that too much of anything is bad. Yet, we persist on the acquisition of "more."

When it comes to machines or computers, I love them and I believe they are some of the bes things we have ever conceived, but as Benjamin Franklin would put it, "Tis easier to see, than to foresee." Think about the consequences, people.
