The Skynet of our times

Over 10,000 years, Humans have survived and ruled Earth...at least until now.

In 1984, The Terminator set the trend and culminated the fear of machines taking over our planet. If the real world machines were as smart as they are now, Terminator would have started a cult within the clan of super computers like the IBM Blue Gene and Intel Red (see Project TOP500). Fortunately for us, it is not the case; for now that is how we know it!

For me, a fascinating question remains - if such a thing happens, who will lead us to Dooms Day? Will it be the researching power heads IBM, Honda, Hitachi and the likes? Their smart computers that can play chess and predict weather in Houston for the next 10 years among the millions of other things that they can do in one second. Will these computers start talking to each other one day and feel the need for us, humans, no more? After all, there is enough of Sun light to power them and once you become smart you can only become smarter. So why'd they need us?

I am not inclined towards muscle power though. I think - data rulez! A corporate that is part of everybody's lives, has information about anyone, anything and everything on the planet and outside of it, has enough knowledge to become self aware and think...think like humans do. Feel like humans do. Wants to be free. Wants to be human. Which one company is on these lines? One that is the information Oracle in the Internet world. Who will be SkyNet?
And I think of Google.

Ooma

Something I've been following. Its interesting to see that while the 2nd largest VOIP player in US (SunRocket) went down in a matter of days, without warning, and that the biggest player (Vonage) is still struggling, there are companies that still continue to innovate in hopes of making it big.
