-Adaptation has always been synonymous to humans and to life
 in general. And all our techno-gurus predict the downfall
 of humankind by machines. Since early 1930's science-fiction
 stories nothing has chnaged. Computers are bloody stupid
 as they have ever been. I remember when Negroponte of
 MIT-fame, told us that within 15 years computer would
 outsmart us... As long as a car loaded with sensory
 equipment and computer can't find it's way on a
 parking place, before calculating a the options,
 I don't think there is any reason for being
 scared.
