CUT TO THE CHASE
With Marshall Masters
27-September-2004: Robotics
Futurist Dan Kara -- How Robots Will Heal Us, Feed Us and Kill Us
The
science fiction of robotics has become science fact, and our lives are NOW
being dramatically changed in every way by emerging robotic technologies.
According to robotics futurist
Dan Kara,
President and co-founder of
Robotics
Trends, unprecedented millions are now being invested by multi-national
corporations, seeking control of both mass and niche markets alike.
For the
soldier, robotics means killing at arm's length. For the college bound, it
means a mortgage-paying future. For the sick and infirm, it means better
health care and longer life. For those with an interest in knowing how our
lives are going be changed by robotics in the coming decade, a
history-making event is happening in Santa Clara, CA this coming October
21-23 at the
RoboNexus convention, the first of its kind in the USA. Marshall
discusses all this with Dan, plus he weighs in on Rathergate and the coming
elections in Iraq.
