Along the lines of what we are finding in our research, I found a very interesting comment by James Cameron, director of <em>The Titanic<\/em> and <em>Avatar<\/em> movies in an interview by Jose Rottenberg in the current issue of <em>Fast Company<\/em> magazine:<\/p>\n<p>Rottenberg: <em>In The Terminator, you envisioned a future in which machines would become self-aware and take over humankind. Thirty years later, how do you think that prophecy holds up?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cameron: <em>It\u2019s happening.
