What did you think is more likely to happen, an alien invasion or a Terminator style uprising of computers/machines/robots?

Personally, I think it would be awesome if either of these happened in my lifetime, but sadly, I’m not holding my breath for it.

However, due to rapidly advancing technology, I think the machine uprising is more likely. This article (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,496309,00.html) talks about its possibility. It didn’t exactly have me running to build a unpenetrable shelter in my home, but the idea of it is pretty cool (IMO).

On the other hand, I do believe aliens exist. For all we now, space is infinite, so I can only imagine that somewhere out there life sustaining conditions exist. As far as how technologically advanced these lifeforms are, we’ll never know unless they land here, or somewhere in the distant future we find them.

This is definitely a random Friday afternoon question (only an hour and 10 minutes left until 5:00!!!!), so let’s hear your thoughts.

P.S. A zombie uprising would also be incredible, but unfortunately I can’t foresee that ever happening.
