Thats Impossible! - Real Terminators-Robots that think, move like humans and fight our wars



Robots that think, move like humans and fight our wars--Real Terminators--may now be possible. At leading universities and covert government labs, robots are now being developed in man's image; cyborgs with superhuman strength, machines that may eventually be able to make decisions, even kill on their own. But will these very robots designed to protect us ultimately turn on their masters?

be used in wars of the future. By building these weapon systems for the future, we are guaranteeing to have many more wars in the future. You just don't build these things and not use them. Someone builds some "super cool" weapon, you have to try them out.. how do you do that? Make an another excuse to go to war.

Calling Mr. Spielberg.

And this movie should be required viewing for all Americans, especially
children and especially the scientists who are investing their professional
genius in a black hole of self-destruction & death manufactured by by
machines WE created.

They ALWAYS do in the movies. If they haven't learned anything by Frankenstein, they will never learn.
