    This was one of the most cognizant talks about robots, human relations, and war that I have ever listened to. If you like robots give it a listen, its worth it.

    In the oncoming technological revolution we may have to redefine what war is, but mostly try to figure out how these new advances in robotics and technology fit into our moral framework and change and use them accordingly. These are problems that are not being dealt with and will most probably catch us off our guard, like so many of our technological feats (the atomic bomb anyone?). Though I hope that will not be the case.
