The damned things have taken on a life of their own... I'm sure that wasn't the intent when they were invented, but that's pretty much how it's turned-out. Rather like 'The Terminator' or 'The Matrix' in that regard. :) They've gotten so powerful that it's nearly impossible put them down once they've gone mad. Law of unintended consequences...
I'm not an MBA type, but I like business history. Corporations have limited life spans for one reason or another. Sometimes they morph into other companies, like Chrysler, and sometimes they kind of fall apart, like ITT (a corporate giant in the 1950s and 1960s). Railroads were once powerful corporation in America.
So, probably not. They don't live forever like the robot in Terminator.
