When it comes to robot we all think they are very cool. When I was younger I used to fantasize about having robot friends and robot to do things for me. I mean who didn't want to have robot friends after watching Astro Boy and Wall-E. Also thinking about a world without these aspects is almost unthinkable. Having these robots help in our everyday lives is truly amazing. It makes our lives easier than it was a hundred years ago.
I would love to have my dead grandmother "come back" in the form of a robot considering her death date is the same as my birth date. I'm sure I'll be a tiny bit weirded out but, it would be nice to her around again. Although I say that I know there will be implications. For example, I would live in a reminder of my grandmother and how she died. It could also lead to an obsession and depression. The fact that she isn’t really her would take a toll on me. Overall, it would be a very unhealthy relationship.
I also thought about what it would be like to be cloned. Basically making a perfect me. At first, I was cool with but then I thought that it would try to take my life and push me out of the picture. This is something we all are afraid of and why we both happy and weirded out of the fact that this may happen. In the movie “Be Right Back”, portrays the unhealthy relationship and a bit of an obsession with a lost loved one turn robot. While only talking over the phone she basically shut the outside out including her sister. When she (her sister) came to check up on her, due to her embarrassment, she hides robot Ash somewhere. She later realizes that Ash 2 doesn’t live up to her expectations and the fact that she had to tell him normal Ash wouldn’t do that. In the end, she ends up hiding Ash 2 in the attic. Although I couldn’t live knowing there is someone not human in my attic waiting for me to come and visit every once in a while.
