memory wizards: 60 minutes

"It's not just a question of numbers, dates and times. It's emotion. And so, you know, when we wake up on that certain day of the year, it's kind of like how everybody wakes up feeling on 9/11."

Some people have quite an amazing natural memory.

Eventually, various A.I. programs will try to meet & exceed even the best human minds.

Obviously, some A.I. programs & robotics are already being used to be potentially lethal towards organic life. Some A.I. programs might notice the violent history of humanity & assume that they also have the right to wage war against some people.
