Surrogates
The film is set in a futuristic world where people lives and interacts with society through remote-controlled humanoid robots, surrogates – fit, good-looking and a physically perfect mechanical representation of themselves. A surrogate operator is protected from harm and does not feel any pain when their surrogate is damaged. Because people are safe all the time, rarely leaving the safety and comfort of their homes, it is a peaceful world free from fear, crime and pain. This technology is so advanced that everything the robot experiences are felt by the human being controlling it.
But all of a sudden, something went wrong when humans are murdered when their surrogates are destroyed, which is something that is not supposed to happen, since it is assured that a surrogate operator is safe from any damage done to his/her surrogate. Looking a decade back, robots are made and used to be just for fun and toys. But then Man never stop thinking of innovative ways to engineer and use robots where it can assist those people with physical disabilities, perform calculations, carry heavy loads, and reduce work and labor in manufacturing, production and distribution of goods. It became even more advanced as it is even more used in industrial, professional and military applications. But whatever technological advancements and breakthroughs may be made on these robots, there are some other things- much more critical things - that only humans alone can do.
Eagle Eye
The movie was so unpredictable that I missed the part that the actor will end up shooting in front of convention. On the other hand, this movie can happen today but I doubt if a computer as powerful that exist now. It is true that super computers nowadays can have enough processing sped to almost do anything in unison but no computer today has the power to decide on their own. If you come to think of it, the computer even controlled cameras and other things that are electronic even though there is no way for it to access them. This is very creepy especially if we think that the computer controlled a vehicle in the part where they are chased by the police. Although this movie can be possible there are some things that will make you think about its possibility to happen in real world. First, the computer is so cool. Nothing can be compared to it now and even for the next years to come. Second, you can see that the bomb used was a crystal that can explode in a certain tone which is something tat is too good to be true. That would be the best bomb if that is true. This technology may be possible but it will be in the form of a mechanical bomb that will explode given a certain pitch or any kind of signal. Lastly, I am also wondering why it is in present setting. It is quite awkward with such advancements in computer and bomb technology that other forms of technology are untouched. Even their cellular phones are just the normal ones. It should be better if some wonderful technologies were also introduced.
I, Robot
Robots are human-made. They are not created to change the law, the way people lived. The movie was helpful indeed especially to those people who relies more in technology. Sooner or later, robots have the potential to ruin and to take over world if this scenario happens.
Wall-E
The movie presented robotic technology that was created to clean the earth which during that time was over-run by garbage after hundred years in the future. In the movie, robots emphasized the awareness to make the earth clean and unpolluted. It shows that using the robotic technology, man can use robots to become a cleaning instrument and give it instructions for only to follow. The movie also presented a robot, Wall – E, that somehow possess human feelings and emotions therefore make him have the feelings of care and love which he showed to the plant and to another robot, EVE. Robots have artificial intelligence that can give mankind an easy way to give orders since they can be able to comprehend. However, it can also give problems wherein robots can become stubborn to follow a modified order from his primary order because he was created to do a certain order. That somehow can be a weakness when using robotic technology in doing human jobs. Another weak point of the movie is that humans became fat and lazy and they depend too much on robots to do the things a man usually do such as getting a drink or walking. Too much reliance on robots as seen on the movie can also cause a bad result to the humans’ health and attitude.
Silicon Valley
This is an excellent movie talking about great names in the history of personal computers; Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. The movie evolve on the building of two great companies the Microsoft and the Apple. The story develops on the ventures of going to yonder of horizons and perspectives one who is firmly focus to its craft while the other started in a happy go lucky situation and turned his dreams to reality and reality becomes honor and prestige and yonder to go even to the extent of getting minds into minds, brilliance into brilliance and power into power. The story pointed so many things on technology into three important matters. The first matter is that technology is influx and it goes to wildest streams to a vast matter of ocean, as it is seen in the movie knowledge, creation and building up can be seen in technology where things can be done in its wildest scope and space. The second matter is that technology could be a blurting business where power is taken and knowledge is acquired, as it is seen in the movie we see people goes beyond of betrayal and pirating in order to gain more and to access big. The third matter would be technology can be a great source of moving forward in the computer industry and later can a source for renewing values and style of life.
