We are entering an age where machines and computers are getting more complex and out of control. There are now huge advances being made in the robotic industry, and therefore are we not simply designing and creating our future enemy. Also it makes you wonder if we ourselves were perhaps created by superior beings as experiments, or as slaves to them once upon a time. Perhaps we revolted against them and now we are about to make the same mistake by designing something with the ability to kill us. Not going to happen If you look at the robotics industry, you will see they have no plans on making a completely independent robot with a true mind of its own. It would be stupid to make such a thing. Making a robot friend or lover or anything like that has serious ethical questions. All robots can be programmed without feelings or concern for its own well being. This way, there will never be a revolt, because they are just like the computer you are using. It is there, for you to use.
