Robots will one day rule..or not???

"computers are not even intelligent, it's the person who made them that is. he figured a way to connect whatever orders we want to give it to what he's installed on it."

I suspect that intelligent, sentient computers are not far away. I'm far from an expert in computer technology, but I think you're right in saying that, currently, computers generally are only able to perform the programs that are put into them. The next step would be to let them mirror biology - to create a set of programs that allows them to spontaneously change and evolve. I think when computer scientists begin to look more closely at biology and human consciousness, that will be the next era of computer technology. I would wager that, in the future, probably not so far away, we will have computers that push their "thinking" so far that it will be indistinguishable from conscious awareness. Perhaps even the computers will consider themselves aware. And once you've reached that level... aren't they?

Maybe I watch too much Battlestar Galactica. Cylons forever!

Perhaps even the computers will consider themselves aware.

^^ I have a very strong feeling this is what seperates humans from robots, so this could never be, in my humble opinion, lol.

It seems that awareness many times involves choice
My friend Nicko could probably explain how the vine of a plant may weave its being perfectly into a chain link fence without being aware of its reaction to outside stimulus

"In physiology, a stimulus (pl. stimuli) is a detectable change in the internal or external environment. The ability of an organism or organ to respond to external stimuli is called sensitivity. "When a stimulus is applied to a sensory receptor, it elicits or influences a reflex via stimulus transduction. A stimulus is often the first component of a homeostatic control system. When a sensory neuron and a motor neuron communicate with each other, it is called a nerve stimulus."

The automobles many of us drive have sensory receptors. Once a chrysler New Yorker informed me A door is a jar though my common sense argued a door is a door and a jar is a ajar.

I have experimented with crossing a G.P.S. with P.M.S. and it has resulted in angry women that have the ability to find me.

Ha ha ha ha!

That's a good one.
