"Good Day, People!...
You know...
Dentistry is an
Important Part
Of Our Lives!
But...There are
Changes 'A-Brewin'!'
...Computers...and especially...Robots...
are Gaining a Foothold in Our
Profession!
Sure Our Advances and Our
Imaginations
are making
Robots
more Fun
and
Strange
and even
Entertaining!
But...
Given a little more
Time and
Better Programming,
these Robots will
replace Humans at
many Jobs!
And they'll get better
at Sports!
Robots are already
having Good Times at
our Most Pristine
Beach Getaways!
And Robots can
easily
become
'Objects of
Our Kindness and Affections!'
One of the things that
Robots use
with much Success
is
the Laser!
However,
We must
remember
that Lasers
can be
High Energy and
Dangerous at
Short
and Long Distances!
But,
We may be making a
Big Mistake in
trying to make
Robots act
and look
like Humans!...
We,
unknowingly,
may be ushering in a
'Big Anthropomorphic
Mess!'
And Computers,
even like Humans,
Fight Amongst Themselves!
But,
anyway,
some Dentists,
in the Best Interest of Science,
have and are
Training Robots
to do Dental Work
on People!
But...
as you know...
sometimes things
'Go Wrong!....
Especially
where
Electricity
is
concerned!
You see,
Circuit Boards,
the Brains of
Computers,
may
Overload...
and
'Malfunction!'...
That's Right!...
...You've had to
'Reboot'
your stuff before, right?
So,
a Team From Asia
directed a Computerized Robot
to perform an
Oral Surgical
Procedure!...and,
with the Proper Backup,
everything
went well
and the Patient
had 'No
Problems!'
But not all Encounters are
Perfect and 'Without Incident!'
Take this one
Human-Unaided Computer,
For Example...
...This 'RoboDentist'
comes into the Room,
and says,
"Good Day, Mr. Jones,
The Human Dentist
couldn't make it in
today,
so,
I'm
going to
'Fix Things'
for you!"
And the Patient responds,
"I don't want
you touching Me
One Bit!...
...or I'll Byte!...I saw
what you did to
My
Sister!"
Now the RoboDentist says,
"Now, now, Mr. Jones,
that's
no way to act!..You're a
Grown Man!...
Now,
lets, see...
it says that
We are doing...
...six fillings and
two extractions!"
Then,
the RoboDentist asks
his
Assistant 'Bitobyte,'
..."You're getting the Scalpel Ready?"
And Assistant Bitobyte says,
"Yes, Doctor...It's as
sharp as a Tack!"
"Doctor!...I demand that you
let Me
Go!"
Then,
the RoboDentist says,
and
instead of using Instruments,
'It' relies on a 'SuperLaser!'
which burns away
Tissues and Stuff
Indiscriminately!
But...
...Wait!...
There's a
Flurry of Commotion!...
Now,
the Patient feels and finds out
that
His mouth is
getting more
______ Up (messed Up?)
and that
Others
have suffered through
'Malfunctions,' too!
Now,
the patient jumps out the chair
and starts
to Leave...
and another Person in the Hallway
sees him and
goes,
"Oh,
______! Your...Face!"......
And the Patient is
So Angry
that...
If Looks
and Stares could Kill,
that RoboDentist
would get
'Wasted'
like This
or
like
This...Or
The Patient
willl
call in his
Best Buddy Hero
For Payback!
So,
we need to be careful
and we
need to stay
Cognizant and
Vigilant
as we entrust more and more
Responsibilities...
...To Robots!
Remember,
Robots may
evolve
Rudimentary,
or even Acute
'Synthetic Emotions'
and become
Jealous,
Envious,
and Competitors
to
Us Humans!
But,
back to the RoboDentist...
I bet that,
if a Human doesn't Pay
the Dental Bill,
The RoboAssistant
is probably gonna be
'Pretty Angry!'
In Conclusion,
I feel that,
when it comes to
Robots in Dentistry,
'Don't Stretch your
Self'...
and
'Don't Stretch
Your
Luck!'"
...
"In our Robotics class today,
we are discussing
that article in the newspaper
which talks about the
Robot/Dentist that
messed up some People's
mouths!"
"I am of the mind that
there are things that
Humans should do,
and things that only Robots
should do..."
"Robot/Dentists should
not
carry out
Cosmetic Dental and Facial Procedures
on People...
...A Human Touch and Sensitivity, I think,
yields more successful results!...
However,
more
Dentists are using Robots in their
practices to especially place
implants...
and other
procedures
with supposedly better
outcomes!... But I say
let's not let Robots
do everything!...We may come to regret it!...I mean...just look at
this Cheetah
Robot that
has almost the refexes
and speed of a
real Cheetah!...And there are some that are like
on Steroids!...I don't believe that we should
cozy up to Robots, like
walking and talking
and stuff...why they may
'change their 'sentient' minds' and
'come after
us' with
malicious intent!"
"I know that I do not want a
Cyborg giving me the
'Side Eye,'
and telling me to
give it my
important belongings!...I'm warning you all...
...they may want to
overtake us...and
dance at our Demise!"
"So...believe me when I say that
the worst thing in the World is
having to
deal with
...RWA!...
Robots with Attitude!"
"Class
Dismissed!"
