An article like this one scares me to think of the future. It makes me think along the lines of movies like The Terminator (T2 - Judgment Day,and T3 - Rise of the Machines. ) It also makes me think of The Matrix (The Matrix Reloaded,and The Matrix Revolutions, or The Ultimate Matrix Collection ) where it is the classic case of humans versus machines. It usually ends up that humans win, but is that really the case? Technology can theoretically evovle to be smarter than humans. The only good thing is that machines can only have our brains, and not our souls and what makes humans unique.
I could go on and on about how technology evolving into “thinking/feeling machines” is both good and bad… yet not today. It’s up to us, humans, how much control we are to have over the machines we create. Hopefully those machines never gain more control over us than they already have. For instance TV, Computers, Cell Phones, etc. all have control over us somehow or another. Take a look at the article and links within the article and formulate your thoughts. Post a comment if you wish. Think about the future of technology, could the world really end up like in the movies?

Daniel, after some thought it occurred to me that movies could depict technology evolving to *do good*, to be even more humanitarian than the average human, imagine!

I am on your laptop, so today I am Daniel. For the record, its Angela, again. I just wanted to say that this is exactly the stuff we would talk about in my Visions of Science and Technology class. If Professor Rudicel would read that, he would love you. Plus he loves me, so being that you are my friend, he would probably love you too.
ps. you + kristi + green stripes = mushy love.
