Now hold on a second son! *in my bestest motherly voice* Be careful what you wish for!
I just saw a documentary on the possibility that future robots could someday take over the world. The techno possibilties of their ability to learn is beyond our comprehension. And you say...but, in order to take over the world thay would have to be able to reproduce! Well...according to this show I saw, that's not too far fetched. If they can learn to do everything else on their own, including the ability to learn...what's to stop them from cloning themselves? And...if they are/become smarter than us...what would they need us for? We'd be like the human's in "Planet of the Apes". Take away their "heart"...or power source, you say? They already have our knowledge of nuclear power...there is no stopping their evolution!
OK...who wants a robot now? And remember...all shiny metal is NOT necessarily gold!
But, I really would like some of those "7 course meal pills". Oh...wait!...or one of those thingy replicator dealie-do's on The Enterprise...where you talk to it and ask for a cup of Earl Grey tea or a filet mignon...medium/well, and...VOILA...there it be!
