machine. This paper compares and contrasts the ways in which humans interact with one another as opposed to the way they interact with robots. Discussion Information for this paper comes
from two sources: Robin Marantz Henigs article "The Real Transformers" and "The Machine Speaks, and We Cry Out" by DeNeen L. Brown. Henigs article is very interesting, and describes the
robots she has met and interacted with in various laboratories across the country. She argues that we are all machines, its just that some of us are made of steel,
gears, wiring and computer parts and others are made of flesh, blood and neurons. Henig says that the so-called "sociable robots" are, above all, supposed to be learning how
to learn, in the same way that a human child learns (Henig, 2007). At first, the uncanny ability of the robots to recognize people and seemingly interact with them makes
them seem almost human (Henig, 2007). But then, upon further examination, Henig realized that they were simply putting together a great many sophisticated programs (pattern recognition and others) to give
the illusion of actual responses (Henig, 2007). This was disappointing to Henig but she still recognizes that the robots being developed today are the very beginnings of the industry-robotics is
today where computers were 30 years ago, at least according to Bill Gates (Henig, 2007). If he is correct, then the robots of the future may very well be the
self-aware and fully functional machines typified by Mr. Data in Star Trek. Henig clearly welcomes this possibility; after all, according to her, were all machines, we only differ in the
