Technology must be controlled in order to safeguard the future of humanity, Stephen Hawking has warned.

He says our'logic and reason' could be the only way to defeat the growing threat of nuclear or biological war. We are living through the most dangerous time in the history of the human race, according to Professor Stephen Hawking.
