There may be only about 39 more left! A British "futureologist" predicts the human race will check out of this hotel we call "existence" by 2040 unless we start to exercise more control over technological advances. Ian Pearson, who works for British Telecom, thinks technology may advance too far, get out of control and may result in artificial intelligence smarter than we are. Robots could then take over and wipe us out. So, could "The Terminator" end up being science fact instead of science fiction? Stay tuned, and if you meet a guy named John Connor, be sure to get on his good side.
