Machines to dominate humans in near future: Apple co-founder

Melbourne, Jun 6: The Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak said that he believes a day will come when computers and humans become virtually equal and human beings will change into mere human pets.

Speaking at a business summit held in Australia, Steve Woznia, the American computer engineer who co-founded Apple Inc with Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, opinionated that soon computers will equal the cerebral prowess of humans.

Steve Wozniak, who is regarded as one of the significant contributor to the personal computer revolution of the 1970s, has the opinion that humans have lost the battle to the machines long ago.

"we're already creating the superior beings, I think we lost the battle to the machines long ago." Steve Wozniak said.

According to Wozniak, when computer equals the human brains, humans will generally withdraw into a life where they will be pampered into a system almost perfected by machines, serving their whims and effectively reducing the average men and women into human pets.

"Every time we create new technology we're creating stuff to do the work we used to do and we're making ourselves less meaningful, less relevant."
