Internet that controls itself?

[Pharekyz]

I just found this article that says,

The US government department that created the Internet is working on a new network that will be able to configure itself, intelligently cache and route data, and allow for fast and reliable sharing of data, all while maintaining military-grade security.

"configure itself"..... FOR WHAT?! Why cant we configure the damn thing, all we need is for it to be able to control itself independant of us, that way the robots can cut us off from the global network and secure it for their use....
