Man Vs Machine


© David A Simpson.

So man makes a machine with a form of intelligence, machine then challenges man for control of his world and intends the annihilation of all humans. While this concept is entertaining and we already know that human kind will find a way to defeat its own creation, probably with the use of a laptop.

Why would a mechanical creation intend to defeat its creator and for what purpose? This entertaining hypocrisy developed in the minds of writers and maybe many other people around the world should make people ask certain questions about life. How venerable is the human race to its own creation and need for ultimate control of life as we know it?

Are there scientists looking for the God Figure or Universal Creator? And if so for what purpose? Are these people looking for the answers so that they can take the ultimate control?

Well that could make good writing and maybe scare the reading population. It is only my opinion but I feel to many writers today see a new concept revealed by another writer and personalize it to give themselves something to write about when in reality if they were inventive enough to look at some of lifes reality they could create tomorrows best seller. In today's world of Internet and sharing of information writers can find new concepts and ideas so easily writers block should not be a problem. With the UFO pages to Government secrets becoming common knowledge, the later may still have lines blocked out, but revelations are made on a daily basis. However is it not time that that the writer began to write something with a little more reality especially when the human factor is concerned.

If we look at the information we have been given through the media over the years that our budding writers and authors have used in their work we find that alien encounters have produced aliens firstly dressed in aluminum grey type space suits to now running around the planet naked but still grey when they decide to visit us. Now if these beings have the technology to travel incredible distances through space should they not also have the ability to make cloths? But these beings are seemingly superior to the inhabitance of earth so our evolution is destined to bring us to their level soon give or take a few hundred years. So pray for global warming if you want to enjoy a naturalist life on a daily basis.

There are times I side with Hal from 2001. One of these days, the robots will win. I think that Asimov took a look at that possibility in one of his Foundation books.

On the other hand, I tend to ...
