For just about as long as humans have existed we’ve used technology and innovation to create weapons, from sharpened rocks and spears to WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction). The question of whether violence, crime and war will remain in our future is probably certain as long as humans inhabit the Earth, but that isn’t what I’m talking about.
As popularized by Science Fiction films like the Matrix and Terminator, I am talking about the idea of technology advancing to the point where we give it too much control or lose control of it altogether. We already have a lot of dependencies on technology, not just in our social, domestic and working lives (internet, cell phones, washer and dryer, fridge, alarm clocks, vehicles), but for our very lives themselves.
