Humans & Our World of Creation, Innovation Exciting Frightening providing endless material....................

I am constantly reading on a daily basis looking for unique and interesting articles that may one day serve as a catalyst for a future novel.  Today I found one that scared the hell out of me.  The reason why you ask?  Because this concept was mere fiction and used in a popular movie series.  It now appears to be a plausible reality.

If you have ever watched any of the Terminator movies especially the first one than you would be familiar with the first Cybernetic Organism (Cyborg).  Living tissue over a robotic endoskeleton.  The T-800 was virtually indestructible unless of course caught in a compactor.

All the elements of this fictional series are in existence in our ever advancing technological world. 

1. Artificial Intelligence
2. Biotechnology
3.  Robotics

Some of the most brilliant minds of our time have given mankind fair warning when it comes to the development of AI.  Although one could argue that there are many benefits the thought of some powerful system becoming "Self-Aware" would pose frightening prospects for us all.

Food for thought.  I will leave you to a few links that I have connected these three that may give you pause to think the next time you ask "Alexa" to turn out the lights.
