Humanoids-3D Holigrams — Virtually Reality ! ( p . 145 )
Val Sears , reporting from the Washington Conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science , wrote of how cyberneticists — robotics scientists — can already imitate the behavior of men . Robots can " exhibit curiosity , learn from their mistakes , be creative in the sense that they can look for purposes which they can fulfill , reproduce themselves , and have an unlimited life span through a capacity for self-repair ." ( John Wesley White , Thinking the Unthinkable , p . 66 ).
" In short ," says cyberneticist D . Rorvik , " a generation of robots is rapidly evolving , a breed that can see , read , talk , learn and even feel emotions ." ( John Wesley White , Thinking the Unthinkable , p . 66 ).
