I wish I had robot insurance

Robot taking over the world seems a bit... apocalyptic? But FOX News is determined on making this Terminator Theory more threatening than it really is.

To explore: What if computer took over worldly operations? For one, we all would be significantly more efficient. Everything would have a reason – nothing random. Also, there would be a single currency and the world financial markets would be perfectly stable. Not that it would matter. 'Cause I assume computers don't need money, thus it would only be used by individuals. The nebulous world of hedge funds, dirivatives, mortgages and other computer system tracked banking would be obsolete. Cash would be the only currency. And it would be worth its weight in paper.
