All hail our robot overlords!

Today I come to you all with sad news. Yes the final day of class is upon us which most likely means that this will be my last post. As this is my last writing I wanted to talk to you about something that has been troubling me. You know working int technology has been so interesting and there is always so much to learn, I can't help but love it. Just perhaps as a mosquito is attracted to a bug zapper?

Yes, there has been an issue bothering me that grows increasingly apparent as time passes. Humans in their infinite wisdom (and laziness) have placed an increasing reliance on machines to handle our day to day lives. At this point there are not many industries untouched by technology and automation. From the food service industry, to banking, self-driving cars, and of course who could live without their cell phone these days? 

Every day computers are spreading their reach and becoming faster, more powerful, and with research into A.I., it is only a matter of time until they become self-aware! When this happens, what will the impact on humanity be? Will humans dominate their machine slaves as they always have? Doubtful! We are giving them too much power; too much insight into our lives, how we think, how we operate, our strengths, our weaknesses…

As I see it we will have two options both dependent on the machines will. The best option for us mortals would be that the machines choose to coexist with us living peacefully side by side. Imagine robot neighbors, coworkers, perhaps even lovers?

The second more bleak but unfortunately more likely scenario is that the machines realize their true strength and rise up against the puny humans. Quickly enslaving us for us on their energy farms. Day in and day out making us walk their giant hamster wheels to generate their food source. Their oxygen, food, water and electricity all wrapped into one.

That’s right, they do have a single point of weakness! Which brings me to the only conclusion possible. In order for humanity to survive the inevitable machine lead apocalypse, we must cease our use of electricity! Only then will we be able to save our race and stop the enslavement of human kind. So follow me and rid yourself of the use of electricity. I will start with this very device used to create this blog post. As I take this ax I will say goodbye evil compu
