Several months ago I came across a short story about how machines would take over the Human society. It was a good read, but I never blogged about it, nor did I save a link to it. However, I finally tracked it down again and will link to it here.
Manna, by Marshall Brain
Depending on how you want to think about it, it was funny or inevitable or symbolic that the robotic takeover did not start at MIT, NASA, Microsoft or Ford. It started at a Burger-G restaurant in Cary, NC on May 17, 2010. It seemed like such a simple thing at the time, but May 17 marked a pivotal moment in human history.
