"My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel--it is, above all, to make you see." -- Joseph Conrad (1897)

TED: P. W. Singer on military robots and the future of war.
PW Singer on military robots and the future of war TED
P.W. Singer shows how the widespread use of robots in war is changing the realities of combat. He shows us scenarios straight out of science fiction -- that now may not be so fictitious.
Singer also gave a presentation at West Point a while back. A solider in the audience commented that when he was in training there he asked his instructor about arming droids. The instructor said that would be unethical. The presentation can be viewed here: http://www.c-spanarchives.org/program/ID/205100
