The Singularity Film: Will we survive our technology?

Singularity advocates argue that consciousness is just another problem to solve or that it will just happen when a system is sufficiently advanced. But I was not too sure.  The promise of this new future began to lose its luster.  I started to see holes in some of the arguments and I began questioning the philosophical and moral implications.  If smarter than human computers were created, how would they treat their human creators?  Would everyone have the means to augment their intelligence or just the rich?  What would happen if something went wrong with these super powerful technologies and destroyed everything on the planet?  Or if these powerful technologies got in the wrong hands and were maliciously used?  Maybe the singularity wasn’t such a good idea.
