Skynet Becomes Self-Aware: How to Welcome Our AI Overlords

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who likes to rant about Terminator and the "what if judgement day actually happened scenario..."

Read: Skynet Becomes Self-Aware: How to Welcome Our AI Overlords from Wired.com

Of course what the author fails to identify is that we all know that Skynet is fictional... Google however, I strongly believe, is not far away from being self-aware if it isn't already? In fact, does anyone actually know who's running the show... Hmm, quick search on Google says actually quite a lot of people know. But then again, who told me this - Google did! Well it would pretend real people are running the shop and not some self-aware planet wide intelligence plotting our doom.

Could the internet ever truely become self aware? There are those who think yes!
