It is a theme that recurs throughout science fiction movies such as The Matrix and Terminator (to name a few). Will mankind eventually create something that will lead to its ultimate demise?

Nuclear mushroom -    When a nuke is triggered off(on?),a musgroom similar to the one in the picture is produced.
Mankind has already produced the nukes.It requires a madman or a group of them to trigger the UD!

Ya, that is most definately the truth. Nukes are everywhere these days. Even in smaller countries! Lets just hope that the day never comes when someone decides to use them.

It sometimes seems that way with technology using up natural resources and poluting the earth. But, if used wisely technology benefits mankind.
