You press Cancel. The screen updates. Somewhere else, a worker is still following your earlier instruction. What should “cancelled” actually promise? There Is No Now.

A thousand manufacturing steps at 99.9 percent success each gives you a 37 percent chance that all of them work. Now imagine those steps have to reproduce themselves.

Our artifacts are getting smarter, and a loose parallel with the evolution of animal intelligence suggesLs one future course for them. Computerless industrial machinery exhibits the behavioral flexibility of single-celled organisms. Today's best computer-controlled robots are like the simpler invertebrates. A thousand-fold increase in computer power in the next decade should make possible machines with reptile-like sensory and motor competence. Properly configured, such robots could do in the physical world what personal computers now do in the world of data--act on our behalf as literal-minded slaves. Growing computer power over the next half-century will allow this reptile stage will be surpassed, in stages producing robots that learn like mammals, model their world like primates and eventually reason like humans. Depending on your point of view, humanity will then have produced a worthy successor, or transcended some of its inherited limitations and so transformed itself into something quite new.
