As a part of modernization, we are changing our ethical values, behaviour, mentality, choice etc.
Are we becoming human robots?
Please analyse your view.
From slaves to robots, a real danger, like Erich S. Fromm opined.
The critique of Fromm is directed against the total economization and monetization of life (and eventually science); the dominance of the total monetary economy is not a healthy direction of human affairs. Under these exponential economic conditions, new technologies can be used for robotization, thus Fromm developed the analogy from slaves to robots.
A drawback of advanced HI-tech: Although, the changes in technology and our environment are slowly, but nonetheless making humans more machine-like!
What does it mean to be human?
In order to test whether humans are becoming more machine-like, it’s important to define what makes us distinctively human. Philosophers have long considered this question, and often define human traits by comparing us to another category—typically, animals.

Instead of asking, “are robots becoming more human?” we need to ask “are humans becoming more robotic?”
The excess use of technology is making us behave like robots. Creativity is destroyed when we perform during a working day many tasks using computers only. Even in classrooms now...
Sometimes I think I am ONE :(
I am highly automated and I hate when I have automated responses !!!
Only humane thing I have is my sense of humor (thanks to my Dad) ...
Yeah I prefer struggling with machines rather than justifying to humans :)
In most cases we machines sometimes work day and night, here the sources of food vary rather than the electric energy vary from eating habits
Japan set to deploy English-speaking robots to schools!!!
Japan's education ministry will deploy 500 English-speaking robots to the country's schools from next year, with the aim of improving students' English-speaking skills, according to NHK.By Jonathan Chadwick
According to a report from Japan's national broadcaster NHK, the ministry will launch the initiative in April in about 500 schools nationwide as part of a trial. It will also make study apps and "online conversation sessions" with native English speakers available to students, the report said.

Congratulations for very relevant question!
Certainly we are half-robots already and aiming for full membership to the robotic society. This is what I am blasting many people around me: they follow regulations religiously taking the human factor out of it, therefore it is like talking to a wall!
I was angry to someone after they serviced the car and charged too much following some rules. Funny thing I was screaming at this person on the phone and I told her that she had become a monkey and she kept listening to me as if I revealed some truth. In the end she was obliged to change the billing method, realizing that if she was in my place she would like to be treated the same.
In this heterogeneous world dominated by financial conflicts and the occupation of power centers, this can be said.
Hi Shibabrata.
Good question.
I do not think we're behaving like a robot. Now, certain behavioral responses can be given without much reflection. Our dependence on technology may suggest that we are relying on or depending to a disturbing degree on technological tools. But reality places us in relation to others, as well as to ourselves, on such vital issues of what we want to be and how we want to be. At this point, decision-making as well as a certain evaluative and normative burden indicates that as human beings we can not be oblivious to the discussion on ethical issues for which we feel we have something to defend.

Aren't we less than robots since our response to our tasks are slower and less coordinated, at best, clumsy.
According to Stephen Hawking, "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race".
and
Elon Musk, a renowned inventor and investor, insists, "I think human extinction will probably occur, and technology will likely play a part in this."
So we should never be comforatable with robots. But what if we ourselves become robots? The consequences will undoubtedly be grave.
Our creativity, sensibility, value system, inner intelligence, sense of humour, and many such humane qualities are all that makes us human beings. The slow but pervasive effect of mechanization in our body, mind, feeling and perceptions have dire consequences as reflected by an insane, visionless, value less, loveless world.
If Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk are "right", then we are definitely in a "wrong" direction.
no robots, but if we are automated people, and few people think for themselves, now technology guides us for good and for the bad
The development of technology may be understand as human robots not to help peoples for better and comfortable life.

I think, the need that makes humans like robots or need robots, this proves human capabilities are limited.
Dear Shibabrata Pattanayak,
What about the professions of the future are the representatives of various respected international organizations? Is it true that in ten to twenty years 90% of workers will be robots, and people will remain without work? I dare to assume that in the future the very term "unemployed" will disappear - it still does not have a very good reputation. Instead, they will come up with some other, much more pleasant designation.
Regards, Shafagat
I don't think so....as long as we shed tears when we are sad...hug when we are happy..kiss when we are in love!
Yesterday one of the colleague told me "Jelena, you are like machine"... That makes me thinking - I believe I am becoming human robot, having planed every second of the day in order to accomplish all tasks and duties...
Yes, it seems valid up to a large extent that people are becoming more and more like a robot.
This dilemma appeared previously with the introduction of the Industrial Revolution, a nice novel about that was "The Hour Twenty Five".
However, for me, I'm very afraid that we are becoming "Bad Spiritual Robots", or "Bad Morals Robots". Materialism had been driving us Unconsciously to bad morals.
We aren't. However, looking at the conventional lives many nations live now, it may render the human generation robotic.
Experts assume that the presence of such robots can actually be a good thing. Robots can contribute significantly to high levels of productivity and lower working risk.
So instead of worrying that robots will deprive us of our jobs and make us useless, we should focus on making good use of them.
A study by the Pew Research Center on the future of jobs suggests that technology can actually create more ...
Man thinks, feels, loves, desires and is afraid. There is euphoria in a person's life, there is stress, there are emotions. I think that all upbringing, discipline, all these rules and legal regulations ordering and limiting our decisions, did not make man a creature similar to a robot.
I do not think so. For a long time, man has been afraid of being "enslaved" by technology. It is absolutely not like that. At least it is not like that for the most educated and for those who are accustomed to thinking with their own head. Technology is a tremendous advantage for all of humanity. Obviously it is necessary to have a high cultural baggage to be able to manage the technology, including artificial intelligence, for its own advantage and for the benefit of humanity. Therefore, the priorities are: to defeat hunger in the world; defeat ignorance in the world; build bridges and not walls as Pope Francis says. The technology in general must mainly be subservient to the above-mentioned purposes. However great and powerful the artificial intelligence will never be able to write a poem or paint a painting like Picasso's Guernica or to write a philosophy treatise or to elaborate a new scientific theory or to devise experiments to submit the aforementioned theory at the laws of reproducibility, verifiability and falsifiability. In other words, fantasy, intuition and unpredictability are typical and exclusive characteristics of man. Technology frees man from manual labor and provides to the man time for arts and sciences. The photos that show young people, adults and the elderly intent to write or read something on the phone shows that today people have a very powerful tool to communicate and get to know each other; instead of talking to the classmate you speak with an American, Chinese, Indian etc.. Obviously it is necessary to counter obsessive and incorrect behavior in the use of technologies.
If we loose emphatic and if we mechanically repeat activities, without emotions and creativity, without thinking and interacting with other people - Yes, we will be human robots!
I don't agree with this idea, man can not be a robot, because human emotions do not disappear from the human race. I agree with you that the values and principles differed very much from the past, but we have to agree that change is a feature of life and the universe, and we are still own mercy, feel with kind and humanity in one hand, and the evil characteristics in the other hand which found in every time and era.
Lots of Technology But Always Human The crux of technological development, particularly of robots, suggests that machines can be taught feelings and emotions. While there is certainly some level of truth to that, our humanity can't be programmed. In that vain, our humanity can't be technologically removed. While some people may have little to no remorse, that is still part of their
No, we are not slowly becoming robots. No, we are not slowly becoming robots. We may be using technology to the point where our activities seem somewhat automatic or robotic, but the product result speaks for itself. By including technology in our lives, it not only increases the speed at which people can work, but it also increases the quality and accuracy of that work.
I do agree with Jaamour that up to some extent we are proceeding towards human robots. Our emotions are becoming extinct. Moral values are at low ebb. Selfishness and greediness are at the peak. We are becoming more materialistic.
Life is becoming hectic day by day due to fast pace of working life. Due to advance technology, one is able to achieve and deliver much more and much faster pace. One may not have option but to join the fast paced life.
It is a choice that each person can make. In my case, I try to find balance between work, family, friends, scholarship and service while deriving joy from every task.
To become a robot: it is very serious, so we must focus on its principles!
Think and act in a highly selective way!
Be dynamic and practice different activities, other than work, specialty, research ........
Do you know the schedule that we follow every single day? We have a rigid work schedule to go by every day. We eat dinner at a certain time, go to do other activities at a certain time, and eat lunch at a certain time. We live in the future and the past, or in the virtual world, never in the present.
We can find this robotic way of life not only in workplaces but also in our lives.
Thank you for your question. The topic is something which really needed to be discussed.
Yes! We are becoming HUMANOIDS instead of HUMANS.

Discovery of space
One of the most striking areas of robotics is their use in space. Advanced machines give astronauts the chance to discover space in the most confusing way. The most common robots in space are remote control and telemedicine, both of which are widely used in space missions. Remote control vehicles can be spacecraft without a human being orbiting or landing when they connect to outer space and explore the Earth. They both get fantastic information and visual snapshots that humans could not get without the help of robots. The weapons of the mechanical remote processing system also help astronauts perform critical and difficult tasks during space missions.
Surgery remote ...
The robot-assisted surgery has really changed the face of medicine by increasing the capabilities of surgeons in an unmanageable way. Surgical robots are directed by the surgeon who uses the computer controller to move the instruments attached to the robot's arms. The surgeon's movements are translated by a computer and performed on the patient by the robot. Today, surgical robots are so sophisticated that they enable surgeons to conduct remote surgery without being physically present in the operating room or even in the country itself. Surgical assisted robotic surgery has limited limited surgical intervention as it has advantages over traditional open surgery, including greater accuracy, smaller injury, less pain, and reduced blood loss. Robots such as the Da Vinci surgical system are used in gynecology, rectum, colon, prostate and throat surgery, as well as obesity, catheterization and arterial replacement surgery.
Explore underwater
It has underwater robots that can dive longer and deeper than anyone and provide a closer look at marine life. These stunning machines are equipped with sensors, high-definition cameras, wheels and other technology to assist scientists when they explore anchors, ocean bottoms, dams, ship liners and other surfaces. The most underground robots are known and used today are remotely operated vehicles controlled by individuals sitting at the command center. These vehicles are connected by ship cables, the best way to collect information and images of underwater life
I seriously don't know!
But while reading the question I have been reminded of a scene I saw in a European country - when people in large numbers were alighting from a TUBE and the way the entire block was walking /coming down from the elevator - without looking at each other, in measured steps, very engrossed and carrying brief cases and all seemed to mean business! Even now I remember the eerie feeling seeing the entire block of people - probably more like robots going for work in the morning and back home by the evening.
All said and done I don't want to become a robot.
When we lose a large part of our humanity and control our behavior in the material system, it is certain that in many parts of our lives we will be transformed into robots where there are no emotions and feelings in most of our work that we accomplish .
I think the smart guy ... the robot does not think and can not act on its own, but the robot made by man is the one who controls it
essence is human and robot according to modern science
The weakness of human physiology in the face of the harsh conditions of life and the deterioration of health with the passage of time and lack of the return of the work of its vital organs due to diseases and accidents or even because of aging and other factors may be psychological sometimes and sometimes natural, all these reasons inspired researchers around the world to seek solutions to practical and alternative The ideal human who does not get tired and ill, and most of them still believe - a belief based on scientific theories - the possibility of immortality in the distant future or at least live much longer than the average age of human today, replacing the body of the human body with more current The components of this alternative body have a much longer shelf life than the body of today's organisms. Many scientists have gone on to look at nanotechnology as a technology that may allow humans to have their bodies, hospitals and To detect any technical malfunction or technical malfunction within the new human body around the clock to mimic the DNA machine or the molecular machinery
Yes in true sense we are becoming robots. In thirty forty years the scene is completely changed,when we used to travel on bullock carts but they are now completely vanished. Mechanisation has made us mentally as well as physically weak.
Robot is a simulation of man, the robot is missing for humanity and there may be an imbalance to execute orders not programmed for it, and the human remains the origin and can not give up its nature and humanity
