Robots vs Humans

Robots are apart of our current technology, which aid us by making task more efficient. But what are these robots really capable of, are they just like humans many people wonder? Obviously the physical features are clearly different such that robots are made of metal or other types of materials which do not represent the same feeling as a real human body. But the question was presented, what if both the human and the robot were behind a sheet, would we be able to tell the difference? I believe so...humans have a spirit and soul which people can feel the energy from depending on their mood. Also humans have the ability to cry and express their feelings at any given moment in time, while robots would need to be programmed to do so which wouldn't allow them to show feelings.

I feel that once robots are able to create humans then they will have power over us, but until then I feel that humans have the upper hand over robots. Also another difference is that humans are able to think but robots do not have the ability to think for themselves. They are programmed to think and act the way we want them to. When a robot dies from either a dead battery or a manufacturing defect, or which ever the case may be, they are dead and no longer function and that is the end of their life. All is left is metal. While on the other hand I believe that we humans are here on earth for a purpose to serve for whatever we may believe it to be, and following our death that there is some sort of after life after going through all of the struggles we have had to experience on earth.
