Maybe I will see more in my lifetime than I thought/hoped I will a few years ago...
I wonder, how close we'll get to the replicators of stargate (the series)...

Or -after some point- how close the replicators will get to those of stargate, taking their own progress in their own hands...

Too real of a possibility.
