This scene
is, of course one of those George Jetson futures of which we were so cruelly
deprived. Where’s my fucking rocket car and android attendants? Perhaps my
extreme ire at being so heinously let down is the reason I now no longer trust
the robots. HAL 9000, Skynet, Colossus the Forbin Project and all the other renegade droids
who turn on their creators only compact my fears. Ray Kurzweil and his mates at
Google look forward with great optimism to the Singularity when the machines
are smarter tha we are. I fear that any self aware and self respecting AI would
view the way we humans carry on and deem us destructive, dangerous and only
suitable for eradication.

Is it so difficult to become smarter than humans?
Machines can be sex maniacs too, as in "The Demon Seed" when rape-bot Proteus IV shagged Julie Christie.
Here I am in the 21st century
I have to say it ain't as cool as I hoped it would be
No man on the moon, nobody on Mars
Where the hell is my flying car?
Ain't nothing even like a teletransporter so far
It's hard times in the new millenium
Gettin' by on just the bare minimum
Everything to lose and nothing to spare
Going to hell and nobody cares
Ain't the future that Kennedy promised me
In the 21st century
Finally come to the age of Aquarius
And if we live through the Mayan apocalypse
There'll be pie in the sky above lemonade springs
A goddamn American utopian dream
If you believe that then you're more optimistic than me
Lights out in the heart of America
No love in a time of hysteria
It's head for the hills, every man for himself
Nobody helping out nobody else
Ain't the way that the Maharishi said it would be
In the 21st century
Pray for guidance, beg forgiveness
Vote for change and hope they find this
Only thing I know for sure is:
We stand now on the verge of history
The world can be anything that we want it to be
Where there's a will, there's a way
When there's a fire, there's a spark
Out in the streets, downtown in the park
Baby, the future's just waitin' on you and me
In the 21st century

Hey Stu, you really believe in mankind, dont you?That's so sweet ...
Plus, I like this line in the comments section: Please prove you're not a robot
It is always disconcerting to learn you are no longer top of the heap.
