It's hard enough to keep systems going without interruption when this is what people are actively trying to do. In any case, how are they going to prevent the humans from cutting off their power? Why is it that the terminator never gets a warning light on and needs to call maintenance? Technology doesn't get simpler and more foolproof, it gets more complex and therefore more likely to foul up in some unexpected way eventually. Regards, Peter Coghlan.
