Robot Fantasy or Prophecy?

·

This summer’s major hit will most likely be “Transformers: Dark of The Moon” These mega-tron hits make me wonder why most movies and fictional pictorials featuring seem to fear robotic wrath rather than celebrate their achievements.  I think the answer is our insecurity with the frailty of our existence.  In one moment, mankind could be wiped out with the press of a button, yet even in a nuclear aftermath sinews of steel and processing power endures.  We think we are the creators, but could the genius be the fool?  I think to better understand this concept, we need to see how humans are portrayed in our favorite bot flicks:

  • Terminator – Planet of the Apes meets Man of Steel…
  • iRobot – the Butler did it and we had no clue, that’s Will Smith for you?
  • Iron Giant – we killed the one thing that actually got it
  • WALL-E – humans are lazy, robots save our existence – how true!
  • Star Wars – the robots play the Shakespearean comic interlude, here humans rule-
  • 2001 Space Odyssey – Frankenstein complex, oy vey what did I build???

Now, your favorite  & its meaning….

    Had to give back that little or no remark to thank you once more of these spectacular techniques you’ve provided in this article. It’s so particularly generous with individuals like you to offer unreservedly what many people would have marketed for e-book to earn some dough for their own end, primarily since you’ll have completed it if you ever wanted. The tactics also acted to get good way to recognize that every one’s similar desire as my very own to comprehend very much more about it condition. I’m sure there are 1000s of more pleasing opportunities in advance for individuals who read through your blog post post.

    I have been surfing on-line more than three hours as of late, yet I never discovered any interesting article like yours. It¡¦s pretty value enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the internet might be much more useful than ever before.
