Nobody asked but ...
How deeply woven into the nature of things are humans? We have only been around for a snippet of cosmic time, but we carry the imprint of all that has gone before. We have the same biological building blocks as the trilobite and the triceratops, as well as Roy Rogers' wonder horse, Trigger. It is folly to presume that we do not share cellular likeness to life forms all over the galaxies. How then shall silicon-based forms, such as computers, replace us? We have a toe hold! To be sure, robots will have no particular incentive to keep us around, but how shall they stamp us out? The good thing is that they probably have no overwhelming incentive to wipe us out either.
