At about 1 minute in, you see the terminator guys walking around with machine guns. When I see this, I always wonder... why would machines make them in our image? Why would they need to be anthropomorphic, with jaws (since they don't eat) and such?? I understand if they are going to make a skin-job to infiltrate a nest of humans, but why would the field soldiers need to be humaniod-ish? There are better designs.

Anyway, to the question of the thread: I saw on the news recently that children are scoring higher now on complex problem solving tests. Researchers attribute the higher scores to RPG action video games that have high skill level objectives.

Maybe technology will dumb down the masses, and maybe it will produce some super brains.
And maybe the super brains can enslave the stupid masses.
