In this paper we compare the strategies applied by two successful biological components of the ecosystem, the viruses and the human beings, to interact with the environment. Viruses have had and still exert deep and vast actions on the ecosystem especially at the genome level of most of its biotic components. We discuss on the importance of the human being as contraptions maker in particular of robots, hence of machines capable of automatically carrying out complex series of actions. Beside the relevance of designing and assembling these contraptions, it is of basic importance the goal for which they are assembled and future scenarios of their possible impact on the ecosystem. We can’t procrastinate the development and implementation of a highly inspired and stringent “ethical code” for human beings and humanoid robots because it will be a crucial aspect for the wellbeing of the mankind and of the entire ecosystem.

在本文中，我们比较了生态系统中两个成功的生物组成部分（病毒和人类）与环境相互作用所采用的策略。病毒已经并且仍在对生态系统发挥深刻而广泛的作用，尤其是在其大部分生物成分的基因组水平上。我们讨论了人类作为装置制造者的重要性，特别是机器人，因此机器能够自动执行一系列复杂的动作。除了设计和组装这些装置的相关性之外，组装它们的目标以及它们对生态系统可能产生的影响的未来情景也很重要。
