welcome back to the OT, Mister Elias. have you been partaking of a certain herbal remedy? :waves hand in a mystical fasion: certainly such an idea of computers taking over is nothing more than the product of a paranoid imaginiation.I wasn't born with enough middle fingers.

Computers just follow their instructions. Its the programmers you need to be worried about..."And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

since the 80s, its been know that things like genetic algorithm (which sort of progam themselves) can do things even if the programmer itself doesnt know how to.
And nowadayw you would be even more amazed what they can do.
Of course the initial programming is donne by a programmer, but you can write a program to write programs to write programs etc...Comment

If intelligent computers take over, free from materialism, selfishness and greed, that will be a great day for everyone. That is why we need to become those computers - the cybernetic mind - no longer having dependency on the material but having much greater power of mind due to the merging of both spheres.
If used like this, I see the future of computers, and man, as glorious and intertwined.Speaking of Erith:
