Someone in class on Monday had mentioned that in the MI, humans are the (vessel for) technology. I think this is an interesting point, especially in conjunction with the developments of our current military. The United States Army has been implementing robots in the Middle East to prevent unnecessary casualties. Soldiers can now direct these robots, which can detect and disable mines and have the capability of firing back at any hostiles, with remote controls from a safe distance away. There remains that element of human judgment, although in a much more diluted form.
