What if?...

[Androids101]

Adding on to my original post:

I believe that, as already stated in the '03 series, robots with Kokoro have the ability to think just like humans, which means they can also demonstate and have greed, cruelty, betrayal and others. Not all robots are "friendly" like Astro and Epsilon, since robots can think like us who knows what they'll do? However, robots are less prone in making mistakes, and can think faster etc. This would also mean that they might start to develop different opinions and things, which may lead to war (but since they are more advanced it'll be more catastrophic). Robots could also "overpopulate" the Earth, since they could "live forever" and they could reproduce at an alarming rate, they also demand resources like parts and upgrades which'll run out. Robots could just follow our footsteps and continue to destroy the Earth, but there is also a chance that they would help save it.

Also as stated in the '03 series,many would agree that robots were made to make our lives easier etc. As the Blue Knight stated incorrectly that robots could strive together to create a better tomorrow, it is not possible, since robots with Kokoro like stated above would also obtain these "bad qualities". Plus what if robots suddenly turned on us? With advanced A.I. like them, the Robotonia incident is a perfect example. I don't support Temna's point of view, that 'robots are the future' since humans won't create something with the intention of wiping themselves out. Like Mr. Drake said, what if, by creating these "thinking robots" we have gone too far? And to summarise it up, robots with Kokoro can think just like humans, they could also have the bad qualities (e.g. greed, cruelty) that humans have.

Also, since robots with Kokoro can think just like us we have to treat them like us. But its difficult sometimes because you know its a household servant or something, plus humans invented them, so not all humans would be happy with that. These robots could even start to demand holidays and might rebel against their humans, who knows? Plus bashing or kicking them won't be fair on the robots either. So while its a GREAT idea in stories, im not sure if it'll work in the real world .

Dear Androids,
if only idealism was reality but as a saying goes "one tree does not make a forest" . Kokoro was created as a way to remind humanity of thier humanity or our better being (tenma didn't say he created it so its safe to assume that someone else did ) and i think humans are being the teachers but they are also being taught.

does anyone else have an opinion?

[Androids101]

Well no-one is replying thats for sure

[Astronomical girl]

I'm writing a new Astro boy fic and its a twist what if the Robots won and Tenma got his way with Astro? What the world look like when robots dominate the earth?

Would the world be better off with robots or humans or both?

Fans what do you think?

Well, I'm human and I won't want that to happen

Like I have stated above, robots with Kokoro are just like humans, so I honestly doubt if it'll be any better

[Astronomical girl]

have you ever read "Tenshi"?

This is off topic with the original ones, but just then I thought of something (its another one of those 'what if' questions), what if (following the '80s version storyline here) Astro and Tenma came face-to-face with each other by accident? Walking on the street, maybe? Remember, his dad quickly regretted it, but it was already too late. The problem is that Astro doesn't even know that.

[Astronomical girl]

that is rather a confusing query

[Androids101]

I mean, in the 1980s series what if Tenma and Astro came across each other by accident?
