Yes, I think the relationship between advanced robotics, the internet, and our system needs to be thought of in more complex ways. Robots will derive their knowledge and be dependent on the system that created them - and their abilities will be greatly enhanced by their information transfer mechanisms (i.e., being able to download and share information instantly). We will be envious of this skill - but will acquire it ourselves via wetware out of necessity/jealousy etc.
I am (not so) secretly a bit scared of a future where humans are connected to the internet. I think a good many of the early adopters will end up addicted to the information stream. I still wonder if robots will ever attain a level of intelligence which would make us consider them as intelligent as us (like scifi). The humans will also change, so another possibility is the melting of artificial and biological intelligence. P.S. Found the link, see my original post.
