For decades science fiction writers have amazed us and terrorized us with their portrayal of the world of robots. The coming army of super artificially intelligent machines that will help us or hinder us. From the crazy daleks of Dr Who to the funny and human like androids of Star Trek, everything has been imagined.

Today we are living in that future age of robots and artificial intelligence. Today all those dreams of the past are coming true. Around the world scientists, engineers and software creators are bringing to life the fantasy world of the films.

Mechanical robots will soon be outdated with biologically created humanoids implanted with artificial intelligence and connected to each other across the globe. They will self-repair, gather energy from the sun and live forever. They will be all-knowing and all-powerful like Gods that will walk the earth.

And all the time we humans are blindly following. We are walking away from millions of years as beings of a natural world into something so unnatural that even the science fiction writers will be amazed. This future world is now inevitable and cannot be stopped. We have no choice but to be part of it and so we had better be armed with knowledge inorder to be better prepared for the circumstances. The greatest brains on earth today have warned us about the consequences of getting this new technology wrong. They have predicted catastrophe. Prepare to meet your future now.
