Hi I'm an outsider to this group, but our newsfeed seems blocked so
I stumbled into this lively discussion.  You guys are having fun arguing
it looks like.  I thought I'd let you know how it's *really* gonna
work out.  Now most of you are going to read this and go, "boy is
that simpleminded/dumb/naive" but just stick this in the back of your
head and remember it in about fifty years.  You'll see.

Shortly lots of "smart" traffic lights are going to start talking
to each other upstream and downstream to make a smoother flow of 
traffic.  After awhile this will set up a bunch of resonance patterns
in the flow of traffic.  This in turn will become coupled to a
host of "other" information passing networks (ei. drivers = capacitors,
you're now always turing (triple pun intended) on Entertainment Tonight at 
exactly the same time).  What you end up with is a vast complex and fuzzy
network that will spontaneously become intelligent.  Of course this
"new" entinity mignt not be able to feed the ducks, but then the
duck feeder can't decide to power down the planet either.

cheers
rodger

i know i'm a bad speller, don't waste FlameWidth pointing out old news
intel agrees with this, but not necessarly anything above the line.
