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.. ^.-) |

The way I see it, mankind is highly dependant upon machines, but not being controlled by them. To put it simply if machines are NOT in control of your thoughts and actions, then they do not control you. You always have a choice, be it the choice to submit or die.
