Skynet
Terminator 3 was a hit movie. The main issue that was stated in the movie, for why the machines took over, was that Skynet became self-aware. I want to ask: Did it really? Let's analyze...
Becoming self-aware was what made Skynet "realize" that humans would try to terminate it and this triggered the computer system's Adrenal Gland and it went Hitler on the humans. Did it really become self-aware though? The purpose of Skynet was to create a computer program that could recognize a potential virus and destroy it before it had its chance to commence havoc upon the network that the humans used.
At the same time though, if Skynet's purpose was to kill off forces which were detrimental it may not have been going very far out of its original programming. Excuse me I'm going to get really "tree-hugger" now. Humans do have tendency to destroy everything. Agent Smith (Matrix) himself said we are like a virus. Perhaps Skynet just realized the true nature of humans when it was activated. I'm sure it was programmed with a great amounts of historical data. It really may have been keeping to its original programming. You never know.
On that note... I think I'll go watch Avatar.
