At the turn of this past century
there was such fear
that somehow all that we held dear
could, somehow, disappear.
That the computer would cease to be our tool
and become the cause of our demise.
We were all so very nervous.
Still are, in fact.
What will become of man?
What fate will our designs design for us,
when our inventions surpass their inventors?
If the spirit of life could one day take residence within
our electronic machinery,
if our artificially intelligent robots
one day contain a soul
will we then migrate into them
will we upgrade our human chassis
for a longer lasting incarnation?
Who can say?
The imagination is a wonderful and fascinating thing.
And, as they say, be careful what you ask for …
