Already, through the internet, a lot of our data is stored and can be linked to us. Smartphones can be unlocked now using face recognition or iris scanning. Some streaming services online give personalised advertisements, using your name, if you're logged into the site. Amazon have opened some stores where you can log in upon entry and simply walk out with your items and it will charge your account. It seems like already some of it is beginning!
I think it would be difficult to create something like Franklin, though. The ability to fly the aircraft and map out plans etc. could be feasible, but for the AI to be so responsive and able to converse and keep on topic would be more difficult.

You're thinking is right along the lines of my thoughts: the idea of a robot mastermind is SCARY. Technology can be such a great thing and also a frightening thing. As the original poster stated, I don't know about this happening forty years down the line, but hey, they also thought taking pictures with phones was crazy in the 80s! So who knows?! I, for one, would kind of like Franklin to remain an imaginary character!sanjus wrote: ↑01 Aug 2018, 12:54 Franklin is a imaginary character and it is very difficult to get such on board computer even in future because complexities will multiply as technology advances. It is only good if robots stay as slaves because if they are to become masters entire purpose of making them is defeated.

Ha, I bet Elon Musk of the present could come out with something if he concentrates on the making such an airship.LV2R wrote: ↑26 Sep 2018, 04:55 The nano-reactive fiber armor that deflected bullets may be something that is possible in the future if not now. I am not sure about making airships like Sliver's would be possible, but cloaking and being able to maneuver easily would be a technological advancement for traveling.
