Anticipationals revisited
Sandman has brought up a good point.
Basically this is the goal for most technology geeks and programmers. We want computers to be able to make their own decisions and become self aware and actually learn how to cope in a spontaneous environment. HOWEVER, thanks to Hollywood, there is now the concept that robots will take over the world due to self-awarness and their desire for power. This is not true. The desire for power must be a programmed motive and is too complex to be learned.
Good point though and I can see where you're coming from.
I'm liking the idea so far, just there is one problem that I can spot very clearly. Have you seen the movie "The Terminator?" Well these anticipationals sound a lot like taking steps towards a "Sky-Net" type computer.

good, i don't like the idea of computers taking over the world, if they can't understand a desire for power, i think its ok for them to be as smart as possible.
