question.. =.

who controls who in this day & age - human or machine? *ponders* i've been thinking about this one today after seeing koyaanisqatsi earlier today; it's true that humans brought the machine into existence, but will the machine surpass & control our lives - especially in the future? do we still have control of our future? -.O *shivers* well, i'll toss this one out there for ATHQ to play with - what's your take on this?

useless fact: koyaanisqatsi translates as - life out of balance (fascinating film btw - highly recommended for those curious to learn how civilization is currently working...behind the scenes style, of course.. ^.-)

Bah... sounds like an old Matrix discussion I had with my buddy one time. To tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of any machine takeover. I mean consider AI. Artificial Intelligence is just that. It's a programmed set of directives where the bot gets to make limited decisions. "Emotions" and "Ambitions" are things I don't believe can ever be conceived by a machine. So while they can be programmed to outsmart the most ingenious of humans, I wouldn't fear any "robot revolution," so to speak.
