Actually, a smart robot may be the thing we need to kick-start the next phase of our evolution, from biological to mechanical and beyond.
Imagine a machine that was twice as intelligent as the worlds most intelligent man, it does not need to sleep, it cannot be affected by hunger nor thirst, it will suffer no distractions from its task. Think of what you could feed into it and what it might give out. The cure for cancer, faster than light propulsion, time travel, the kind of scientific answers that our limited intellect cannot grasp.
Of course, at the same time we'll be upgrading ourselves, bio-mechanical upgrades, increased strength, speed, intelligence. Genetical and mechanical improvements...for the right price, of course.
There are problems ahead...big problems, I mean when we do create robots, what's going to happen to the people that they replace? We're going to have to completely and utterly rethink our entire way of existence, in a manner not seen since we decided to walk upright (reluctantly), and it's going to be the most terrifying and fantastic thing to happen to humanity in its history.
If we make it that far...
