Internet of Things & the Coming Robot Rebellion

Technological changes in society seem to be accelerating: in fact you can go back tens of thousands of years and discover an alarming pattern: they are accelerating at an exponential rate. If they were once happening every 100 years, then after 100 years, they were happening every 50 years, and then every 25 years. If you follow this line, you see that it converges on a time, apparently not too far in the future, where paradigm shifts are happening daily. Can this really be? One suggestion is that that is the point where computers become smarter than us, and it is the computers doing the design, not us. Will we be ready for a world where we are no longer the smartest?
