A machine growing consciousness is highly improbable. You can only program them to do things and they can't even do those right half the time. In my thinking, the only way a machine can gain something close to a consciousness would be by turning the internet into a huge active neural net. This means that the machine consciousness would be made of data we put throughout the history....so it would know pretty much everything about us....every single one of us.

Google will provide data mining, global tracking, surveillance and boston dyn will be manufacturing mechs that cut people in half, and they both will rape mankind.

But in the meantime, people will advance in exoskeletons, accurate and strong body suits and biomechatronic enhancements and we will live a future of Elysium, iRobot, Ironman and Terminator all at the same time

Are we merely a vessel for the birth of the machine race ? In the future, will machine become stronger and smarter than us ? We get sick, we grow old, we have diseases, fears, wars, basically humans have a biological expiration date. Machines don't. Once they set their flags on earth, they may go on forever and we go extinct.
