I started my teaching career 17 years ago. I was teaching computer applications in a vocational school. The computers of 17 years ago looked great then and are little more than junk now, not even good for spare parts. I always told my students, as soon as some says they are trying to invent a self aware computer, or one that has no plug to pull, kill them. You will go to prison, but your grandchildren will thank you for it.
Seriously, I think it is going to happen. The real question is will it bring utopia (no wars, equitable distribution of goods and services etc) or dystopia, (see any terminator movie)

Both are fun if you do it right! |

I was aware of the Terminator connection going in. But to be honest, I really didn't see the connection when I watched the episodes. I mean, except in ways that seem sort of obvious and superficial from today's point of view. I don't know what it was like back in the day they aired, maybe the ideas were completely new at the time, and if Cameron actually admitted he was significantly influenced by these episodes then I guess it must be so.

I always had an issue with the main plot of the terminator. correct me if I'm wrong, which I'm sure I am, but here goes: arnold is sent back to kill sara connor, and in response a guy is sent back to protect her, who in turn impregnates sara.... so if arnold never went back in time, there would be no father for john connor...

Sorry, Mr. drake. Since it was slightly going towards the whole story of the movie (writing credits, ect...) I thought I would ask. I should have known a thread was created at some point...
