Last month, when we played a VR game in Singapore, we couldn't feel the difference between being in the combat zone fending off zombies and standing in an air-conditioned room carrying lots of gadgets. In our country where we are short of manpower, there is a high chance that we might see robots in the service sector, maybe within a decade our SIT food court might have robots cooks who speak various languages, prepare different cuisines and serve us. Naturally, the next question is: will robots overtake humans? Are we becoming dumber or smarter?

Capitan Sully made this decision because his logic was tied to the emotion of saving lives.
