I'd have to say computers already rule the world. Computers are everywhere even moreso with the developing nanotechnology. But, you are speaking of artificial intelligence where a computer doesnt need human programming and computers can 'learn' by absorbing more data and add/discard hardware. I read in a popular science magazine regarding today's technology- that if you can imagine it, it already exists. That magazine article was published several years ago.

I don't think this would ever happen. Even if we could build a computer powerful enough to do this, we would have a failsafe in there so that there would always be a way of switching it off. It is just people who are scared of technology who think that this could happen.
