All this reminds me of the films, Terminator and The Matrix. The whole, machines becoming too advanced, etc. One day, they will become too advanced and will be the destruction of the human race.

Figures. Stop taking whatever drug it is you are on. It is giving you a horrible perception of scoiety and reality. Watching these movies and taking mind altering drugs is not good for you.
One, you cited films to help eleborate your point (I assume you believe this material you posted) and two, you did not cite any science journals in most of your links (the ones I looked at). In particular the link/blog about the brain in the dish, you simply stated "I could not find anything about this on the internet or in magazines'. Maybe you want to try looking through science journals and not magazines. You will be fascinated by the amount of science journals out there and the amount of material within that does not show up in a magazine.

Computers and machines would be useful for doing tasks and jobs, as they allready are, but without spiritual integration with the machine, I doubt it would be very human. It would have to understand all the complexities that we as spiritual beings have. We can, for example, say something like, "that car is beautiful," but really mean "that car is really ugly," because we are making a joke of it's appearance. How would a computer even begin to understand something like this? There are so many variations in human communication.
Inhabiting an indestructable body, might be kind of fun though, let's say you integrated yourself spiritually with this indestructable body. Living without pain could be cool. My arm gets blown off and I just replace it with another one. Yeah if I could re-invent my body, I would have it only feel pleasurable things, and the sensation of getting my leg torn off would be just a non-painful sensation that simply warns me. Perhaps an enhanced version of a human body would be cool, without pain sensations. Lets say it mends itself like a starfish, except extend that to things like you get a hole blown in you, it just mends itself over. Anyway just thinking out loud.

Gee, thanks for the insult, Frosty. You have no idea how much I despise drugs and how much they have affected my life. Watching the people you love pump themselves full with drugs isn't easy. I suggest you watch what you say to people in the future.
Idiot.

2. Intelligence
The first question, to help my understanding, is approximately what percentage of the human brain is devoted to motor functions (not including the cerebellum and cerebral trunk) and the combination of our senses?

What are thinking? THis material belongs in BTS under 'Interesting Webstites' or something like that.
