What Do You See In The Future?

Not necessarily your future, but the future of the world technologically speaking. Whenever I watch Artificial Intelligence, I start to worry that the things they portray in the movie are the things they really hope to accomplish. I don't believe in the concept of robots or otherwise making a machine that will do anything for you...I believe in the concept of working to gain something. I mean, do people really think that life can be so easy? Something would have to go wrong sooner or later. And we already have it easy enough. I'm getting sick of new phone commercials....I mean, yes...the stuff they have is cool, and it's amazing they found out how to advance their technology so well...I will even go so far as to say it would be cool to have one...I know that these businesses are only doing this to make a ton of money, but I think they should draw the line somewhere. Unfortunately, I guess that's impossible, considering the fact that if they stopped coming out with all new sorts of upgrades, they would lose business. One thing that has really pissed me off is this one car....I...I can't remember the name, but I wanna say Nexus or something...oh well. Anyway, I saw this commercial for one that could start simply by pressing a button and not using a key...how stupid. That would enable anyone to steal your car without much hassle, that's for sure. I don't care if it has the loudest alarm in the world. Smash the window, drive away. I'm sure the alarm would have an easy button to shut it off as well. But theft isn't really the thing that made me mad...it's how they're just making EVERYTHING simpler! What the hell is wrong with having to make a few short, simple hand motions in order to get what you want? Stick key in slot. Turn. Grab wheel. Drive. But noooo...just push this here button and all your problems will be solved!  Other attributes it has are things like an inside phone thing, and a touchscreen that can play all your favorite songs....this isn't so bad, really...except for the phone thing...I mean, it's cool...but when you drive it's best not to get distracted with something like a phone call. That's why I get angry when I see people driving and talking on their cell phones...these people are not being safe. But apparently it's not illegal here because I've seen cops doing it. And robots....well the Japanese are still working on one...that I know of....trying to perfect one that can hold up an actual conversation with someone besides just simple things like, "Hello, how are you doing?" and such like that....what would be the use? So it could be like I. Robot where they can be slaves to our every whim? I'm not looking forward to it, but fortunately I don't believe they will ever achieve this goal. I don't think they'll have the time. We'll see, I guess.
