HAL 9000 is a scary fellow because it would rather jeopardize the lives of the crew to carry out the mission. HAL eventually showed human weaknesses as it gets disconnected. Here's the question: are we ready to depend on pragmatic AIs?"

Sure, they can predict who would commit a crime via science but they never accounted for errors like false, implanted memories. I firmly believe that free will still exist despite the predetermined paths calculated by science. The film is a good mental exercise of philosophy and ethics."

Minority Report - #3June 20, 2018"It's explicitly about the hostile occupation of Africa by giant companies who wants to milk their natural resources. Fortunately, nature triumphs over technology as the natives of Pandora overpower them with brute force. Yeah, and the tech that truned Jake Sully into a furry alien? The tech helped him realized his true nature and overcome his disability. It's still nature over tech in the end."

Maybe media will deviate in a different path, possibly a non-technology ideology. Sci-fi media like Blade Runner help us question ethics and possibilities of when technology should stop from overtaking humanity."

Blade Runner - #5June 20, 2018"The Matrix has a messy setup about technology and destiny. They fight technology with technology, at the same time believes in a prophecy that can't be explaind by science. Heck, the heavy allegory of Neo as a Christ figure is soo ingrained heavily. The Matrix even borrowed inspiration from Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell."

Look at the terrorists and even Iron Monger coercing Tony Stark to use his tech for bad. Tony also began in the film as an arms dealer and getting blown by his own tech. That's when he realized he has to use his tech for the good."

They trample free will and dreams which constitutes humanity. I believe we should never forget being human in the midst of technological advancement."

Gattaca - #8June 20, 2018"As a Trekkie, I love the ideals of Star Trek: A future full of possibilities, rich diversity, free from restrictions of economy and race, and advance technology for everybody's benefit. Star Trek's first movie showed us a more optimistic view of the future."
