And hurry! That's the moral of this story. Stephen Hawking, arguably the preeminent scientist of our time, told a German magazine that computers are getting so smart; they're poised to take over the world. Hawking says we humans need to tweak our DNA and re-engineer ourselves. Otherwise, machine will take over man. Hawking also suggested that we create artificial brains that work with our mushy, organic brains and don't fight them. Are you thinking the same thing -- that Hawking may have seen "The Terminator" one too many times?
