I absolutely guarantee that self-modifying code already exists in limited (but useful) applications now, and it is almost inconceivable that it shouldn't be much more prevalent in 20 years. Self-modifying code is pretty common in compilers right now(the Linux compiler uses it as do VLIW compilers). I think you guys are discussing it within a different context though. I don't believe there will be self aware machines for a very long time, if ever, depending on your definition of self aware. Software/hardware systems that solve problems on their own have been discussed for some time and there is work being done in this field. This book is kind of a white paper on the issue. amazon.com Bob
