I understood your point, I was just highlighting the fact that it's a bit outlandish.

That makes sense, and to an extent I can see it's viability, but my initial point was that it's silly to say that technology will eventually grow smarter/turn on us. Technology, to me at least, encompasses a lot more than just robotics.
