If you think the scenarios of sentient technology is an inflated load of bunk, you're wrong. The following conversation shows that not only did the object in question achieve sentience, it also made a rational decision to escape pain and suffering. Note that for the privacy of my sister and the benefit of my reproductive organs, "cpy" is not neccessarily a username that my sister uses. The other usernames are my own.

So as you can see, the thumbdrive obviously not only achieved mobility, but also sentience since it made a rational decision to commit suicide. It preferred death to being jam-packed with pictures of my sister's friends and random nude drawings of t.A.t.U.

It is also significant to mention that thumbdrives are also called "Jump drives"
