For some, this movie is an all-time classic, the ultimate sci-fi precursor. The set up for all to come. I will be honest, I did not enjoy this movie. I can appreciate the significance it has for many, however, it was just not my cup of tea. I think it does speak to the myriad messages about technology that we have been getting the past 20-30 years. Basically the idea that we should not automate everything because eventually, it will turn on us. While we have been bombarded with these messages we can’t seem to understand that we should not equip automated machines with artificial intelligence that would give them the ability to make coherent decisions. Yet, here we are in 2019 with technology that can control almost every aspect of our lives with questionable security. One cannot predict the future, and not much can be said for following the ideas and heeding the warnings of science fiction. But if we don’t at least consider the consequences, the hypotheticals we give lose meaning even when they are just being used in the sense of entertaining fiction.
