"The Animatrix" is a VERY disturbing movie. It showed the director's view of how humans will be overrun by humans that created the technology in the first place. His view is very similar to what I imagine will happen if we continue to depend on technology and continue to develop it just so our lives will be easier. Maybe one day, after we've developed technology so much and created robots and whatnot, people might develop programs so advanced and sophisticated that the robots will have minds of their own and will be able to think for themselves. It would be like another species of animals. I can't imagine that they could ever have consciences, so they could do anything with no regret or remorse. Then, the thinking robots would know that we can't possibly have control over them because they are stronger and never tire and possibly even smarter than we. Eventually, they would realize they don't have to be slaves and that they can overthrow us and then they would take us over.
It just sucks to even think about this happening. Why would anyone want to develop technology to be so complex? To make life easier? To make more money? To gain more respect and credit? Technology is cool and gets even more interesting as we develop it. People always like new things so we continue to make them. But there has to be some sort of stopping point when we decide that it's advanced enough and needs to be stopped. God created humans not robots, so robots don't need to be thinking for themselves and becoming their own species or race. I think we need to calm down on the progression a bit and just enjoy life as is and not forget what we have been taught and what we truly believe.
