Name: Josh Thomas

From: Michigan

Bio: Computer Operator (profession)

Area of Expertise: Technology Developer/Administrator

Topic: General, Overarching Remarks

Headline: One Word….

Nutshell: Skynet. No human control.

Vision:

The internet will cease to be controlled by humans, and a single AI will take over as the technology becomes so advanced that you can interface with the internet from any device worldwide. Skynet will take over our decisionmaking by starting out small – from suggesting what clothes to wear, to what wine to drink with fish – but it will grow and expand, pulling information from college servers and government installations.

WE MUST STOP IT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!
