Future Outlook
Based on current evidence and rapid evolution of technology, there is a strong indication that the future will hold a place for these technological, lifelike entities. What will people one day do with a robotic cat or household butler who can react with yours as well as have affective states of their own? How will this change how society views human qualities and development? These human to machine relationships may one day come to be methodically equivalent to relationships between living things.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or outlook:
“We must choose. Be a child of the past with all its crudities and imperfections, its failures and defeats, or a child of the future, the future of symmetry and ultimate success.”
—Frances E. Willard 1839–1898, U.S. president of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union 1879-1891, author, activist. The Woman’s Magazine, pp. 137-40 (January 1887)
“The white man regards the universe as a gigantic machine hurtling through time and space to its final destruction: individuals in it are but tiny organisms with private lives that lead to private deaths: personal power, success and fame are the absolute measures of values, the things to live for. This outlook on life divides the universe into a host of individual little entities which cannot help being in constant conflict thereby hastening the approach of the hour of their final destruction.”
—Policy statement, 1944, of the Youth League of the African National Congress. pt. 2, ch. 4, Fatima Meer, Higher than Hope (1988)
