Someone will eventually say that robots have feelings. People with such ideas really do exist. These people are scarier than robots.

Originally I said a long long time. But I deleted one of the longs since I agree. I think at some point we will have to distinguish between emotion simulation, and real emotions created by complex AI's. Its.....complicated.

In the future, you wouldn't even notice it. Drone surveillance devices will be insect-sized and will be designed to fit in with their environments.
