And you know, it wont be as bad as we think. It never is. Thousands
of mechanical sensors will note how we walk, how we smell, the shape
of our faces, and will figure out where everyone is at all times and what
we are doing, and yet it will be ok. People will become special, kind
of like gods in a way, will we not? Our machines will look up to us
and respect us and help us.
Just thought I would toss this out to see what happens. {8-] spike
