Transcendence: Film Report

This movie brings about the question on whether AI can help society or not. Of course it is instilled in us to believe that something bad always happens when the boundaries are over stepped and someone wants technology to act as a human. you would think humans are enough, but with disease and poverty spreading as fast as the plague, someone needs to figure things out quickly. This movie made me change my views on how artificial intelligence is not all bad. In fact it can change the world for the better. People downgrade AI and misjudge as if our world is not already corrupt. With people killing each other and themselves, and getting diseases from the food we eat, maybe AI is the solution to all of the chaos.

Moon: Film Report

This was one of the best movies I have seen yet. This movie showed how technology is not the answer to everything. In other words, humans cannot survive with just technology. Yes, technology serves an important role in our society because of the useful information it gives,but at the same time, we are humans. Humans need other humans to survive or they will eventually go crazy. Scientists created this computer to function as a human but in the long run things began to get weird. You never know what can happen with a piece of technology, it can turn on you at any given moment. Whereas, if a human was to turn on you it would not be a big deal because it is something you could expect.
