Issac Isamov vs. Richard Brautigan Machine
Humans have been progressing in technology as fast as time passes. Soon, in the near future, humans will be able to create machines far beyond our imagination. In time, humans would have to learn how to co-exist with robots and machines. But will robots learn how to co-exist with humans? In the poem “All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace” by Richard Brautigan, he shows how humans and robots can live together in harmony and peace. However, in the literary piece by Issac Asimov, He states that machines and robots would never be able to co-exist with humans and would ultimately be harmful to humans. In the poem by Richard Brautigan, he clearly states through his writing how humans and machines would live together in “harmony” and “peace”. This is shown through the imagery and literary analogies of his writing. For example, he states in his first stanza how robots would “program” harmony in a “cybernetic ecology” He also states in his las
t stanza, in a cybernetic ecology”, humans would be free of long hard labor they endured and humans would live in a peaceful forest where the machines would watch over them like “cybernetic guardians”. He also compares computers to pure water touching the pure sky and forests with pines and electronics as if they were flowers. All of these examples in the poem show how humans would be able to coexist with humans. It was also clear to see through the story that the human mind is easily manipulated by the intelligence of a robot. By this, the author expresses by his story how robots may eventually become a threat. Throughout the course of the story, we are able to see how Joe’s manipulative personality slowly manipulates Milton. The robot’s manipulative intelligence eventually leads to Milton’s downfall. This is expressed by the author by the ironic conclusion of the story when we as the audience is able to see Joe getting what he wanted with Miltons
