"The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), is sent back to the year 1984 to assassinate a young woman named Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton). The cyborg comes from the year 2029, following a nuclear war which has devastated the better part of civilization. Computer defense mechanisms have turned on their creators, starting another war, in an effort to eliminate the human race altogether."The above extract was taken from The Terminator Home Page, an unofficial fan site of the famous movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, given our last lecture on Scenarios and looking to the future, could the 'story' above ever become reality?
Analysed closer, there is a distinct possibility that "Computer defense mechanisms [could] turn on their creators ... in an effort to eliminate the human race altogether."
In todays world, there are scientists working towards what they call the singularity! This is the point at which computers are of equal power to the human brain and humans and technology start to fuse together. It is believed that at the current rate of development, it will be 25 years from now that scientists will understand the human brain and how it works. By some scary coincidence, people believe that Humans version 2.0 will be created in 2029, the same year that the Terminator was sent from! Is this the first step to the destruction of humans by their own creations, computers?
Can you imagine controlling machines by your thoughts or machines speaking for you as you think? Don't believe it could happen? I suggest you check out the link below -
