I think the main problem comes from the idea that, as time goes on, we develop technology that basically allows this sprawling mass of interconnected devices to "wake up". Being intelligent beyond the means that a human could, I'd imagine it'd quickly learn how to consecrate technology would it be given access to a network.

But this is science fiction at this point. There's far too many variables to come up with a real idea of what an AI would be capable of with some sort of hyperintelligence. The best we can do is accept that, at some point, there has to be a computer that is, for all intents and purposes, some type of superior intelligence to humans, right?
