mark lawson needs to rethink that statement. Technology is advancing at such an incredible rate, that some scientists believe a singularity is about to happen within the next few decades. Singularity= the moment when machines become so advanced that they start making machines smarter than themselves, and far beyond any human ability. Artificial Intelligence is a part of the singularity theory… My point is that Machines will one day be far more intelligent than human kind, and could therefore understand humans better than we understand ourselves… Who is to say that an AI created with music as its basic program couldn’t create music with such depth that it could touch humans? Music is really just math… the differences in the pitches, the way the notes harmonize… its all math when you step back at it. Waves…. Sound waves is all music physically is. An AI could theoretically absorb every nuance in our music, and build upon it… who knows… AI could create a whole new genre of music, beyond human comprehension… This is all theory, but… it stands rooted in a very real and very possible theory.

They’ll always remain the original Aussies. But you’re right, new people will have to be designated something else. I’m thinking “Bruce001″ and “Sheila001″ to start, then incrementing from there. You’ll note I’m being optimistic with my numbers of digits.
