The next step toward skynet

[Thudz]

If the definition of evolution is "life spawning more evolved life" then intelligent robots could fit the definition of "evolution". We are simply creating a more evolved lifeform. Rather than doing it in the primitive egg-and-sperm way, we just build it in a factory. (We probably aren't that far off from making humans in a factory, for that matter.)

And that is my point. I believe that with our technologies increasing at an expotential rate our human brain has a hard time keeping up. Look at all the research being done by computers today, work that would take the human brain billions of years to do. In order for technology to continue to advance at the current rate I see this type of advancement as the next step. Computers are doing more and more of the work each day, it's just a matter of time before they replace us as the dominent force on this planet.
