I do not like the idea of having something pre-programmed to do everything on it's own without human interaction at some level though. Too many possibilities for operations gone wrong.Response by SrA Matthew Knight made Aug 7 at 2015 2:29 AM2015-08-07T02:29:29-04:002015-08-07T02:29:29-04:002015-08-06T10:35:04-04:00
