Poster Design Part 2

After our critique of the first poster designs, the class was instructed to choose a poster and take an opposing viewpoint for our second poster designs. I chose a poster promoting robots as "our friends."

In case you're not familiar with the term "Technological Singularity," according to Wikipedia: Technological singularity is "a hypothetical moment in time when artificial intelligence will have progressed to the point of a greater-than-human intelligence." 

And here's an interesting quote from another article I came across on the Internet: When Will Singularity Happen – And Will it Turn Earth into Heaven or Hell? “Defined as the point where computers become more intelligent than humans and where human intelligence can be digitally stored, Singularity hasn't happened yet. First theorised by mathematician John von Neumann in the 1950s, the 'Singularitarian Immortalist' (and Director of Engineering at Google) Ray Kurzweil thinks that by 2045, machine intelligence will be infinitely more powerful than all human intelligence combined, and that technological development will be taken over by the machines.”

Sounds a little scary, huh? Could The Matrix, in fact, be a real possibility? So, I decided my poster should be a forewarning of this imminent danger. I welcome your comments and critique (btw, the link at the bottom of the poster is a fictional website):
