[MENTION=22879]kindy64[/MENTION] Yeah well you know where all that tech will be used....military...

I think it will be a while yet before we have to worry about 'skynet' but AI is getting a lot better...so yeah at some point there may come a day when a computer and it's software would become "aware" in the sense that it could make its own decisions and have independent thought...then there might a problem... Then again, all this progress may have nature's cure in it...

Sarah Connor?

Something like that, yes. I was just listening to an episode of 'I Robot' by Isaac Azimov. Prescient...

No kidding! It is a scary thought with how technology is coming and how tense things seem in the world today.

I have to agree. Very uncertain times. It seemed so much easier before the AIDS crisis. Although those were also the years of Apartheid, of Russian dissention being sent to Siberia to rot, etc, etc ...
