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.

I agree. Technology is only as smart as we make it. We would never create something that would be capable of taking over the world. Why make a self-aware robot that has the ability to make decisions, and then give it to capability to carry a weapon? I think humans are smart enough not to do that. Even if a robot can become self-aware, it is a stretch to think we can completely replicate human consciousness. We have to completely understand it ourselves before we can replicate it. And I think creativity and human ingenuity always trumps a robot in a fight, humans could easily find a way to destroy an army of robots. Science fiction isn't always a good prediction of the future. According to science fiction movies, we should be driving hover cars by now.
