Of course it’s a valid question! We just can’t ignore that after mankind’s self-imposed moment of singularity, we’ll all basically be fleshy corpuscles in the eyes of of our sentient, mechanized masters. That is until we realize that robots hate anything made of peanut butter. You know it’ll happen.

So, ok, most of you may think that the robots will wipe us out. Here at SolidSmack, we’re naively optimistic, so we’ve just got to know what you think will be delegated to robots… for planning purposes. You just can’t be too prepared.

We control the technology and the technology is power, so victory will be ours or mine because I already have my robots in stand-by just waiting for the perfect timing. One hint 2012 isn't really the end of the world for every one.

Here's perhaps the proof that robots don't 'stand' a chance - Asimo falls :)

Walking is for weak humand robots will destroy the first floor if they need to go to the second

The singularity is poor imagination run a muck. Since last any designer checked did the improvents in technology in the design process make the human component more or less required. Stated another way is your job more or less technical than it was 5 or 10 years ago. If you think a computer, even in the future, can do a better job than a human then your job is either too easy and you are a slacker or your simplifying what it really takes to be a designer.

As for imagination about it, Battlestar Galactica ain't too shabby. :) I hope you sense my sarcasm in that first paragraph above. Carpet may as well develop a consciousness as far as any of that goes. Now, the idea of remotely controlled drones building cities off the combined energy and intelligence of a million synchronized designers... I could see that.
