Hi KD:
You are right. All that is unavoidable. By the way, last friday night, in my
"Toby Club" reunion with my intimate friends, one of them putted the issue of a
very smart guy of the software industry that wrote an article about how we are
very near the day we will lose our capacity to take decisions, all of them in
the "hands" from then on of computers. And he called that apocalipsis. I said:
"what's the problem? Apocalipsis has been created in a daily base by us, human
breed. I cannot imagine worst decisions that the many one that carried entire
countries to awful wars. Or the many decisions that has harassed the planet..."
So, if one day a super computer or league of super computers get the upper hand,
It cannot be a worst scenary that what happens each day when we, human, take our
powerful tools and use them silly and criminally.
Fernando
