I guess I should not be too surprised, but regardless, I am.
I new it would happen, but I really did not think it would happen in my
lifetime (at least not the youthful portion of my lifetime). Apparently though
I was wrong, as US researchers have created a small robot that can, at its
discretion, duplicate
itself. The robot manages this by collecting, and constructing, spare parts
that it finds. I personally think it is pretty interesting and can see the
multitude of instances where this can be implemented for good use (maybe make
my car repair itself? or a computer that repairs/upgrades itself?), but at the
same time I can hear the other side screaming their Matrix-style conspiracy
theories. You know, the I-Robot machines are going to take over the world and
enslave the human race type theories. Oh well, either way, it is an interesting
invention.
