Yes, all sorts of science fiction horror stories await us if we're not careful. Let us hope that we maintain control, so The Terminator, The Forbin Project, that episode of Star Trek, that episode of Star Trek Voyager, and so many others don't come true. Let's not even to in the direction of the Borg, which also awaits us. I fear that the nirvana depicted in The Day the Earth Stood Still is an unlikely and naïve view of what would happen if machines were given (or took) power over us. And as we've seen, the three laws of robotics are pretty easy to cleverly circumvent or reinterpret in a different context. Let's hope we figure it out in time.
Wait, what's that? Oh, my Treo has just told me what to do. I must go do it . . .
