Going through one major report after the other, perusing ‘n’ number of pages of how advanced our civilization will be by 2020, people can’t help but think, Is the age of Skynet finally here? Are we doomed? Forget about our lives, what happens to our jobs? Change is inevitable, but let us complete that by saying that we are adaptable!
