Eagle Eye

Eagle Eye is more of a story about Jerry, a young man, along with Rachel whom he strangely met, and their adventures as they were brought together and chased by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations, using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move. The woman was actually an artificial intelligence computer in Pentagon who wants to eliminate the President and its cabinet to pursue her other plans.

She is a top secret supercomputer, called "Autonomous Reconnaissance Intelligence Integration Analyst" (ARIIA) tasked with gathering intelligence from all over the world.
ARIIA is housed in Pentagon, and Jerry learned that his late twin brother, Ethan, worked as a technician for the computer and locked it down to prevent ARIIA from carrying out her plan. Jerry and Rachel arrive at the Pentagon and are led to the supercomputer, where ARIIA forces Jerry to impersonate Ethan and use his own biometrics to override the lockdown, allowing her to go ahead with the plan but couldn't go with it. She was threatened that her son who is in his way to play in a band recital during the President's speech be killed. ARIIA had coerced some agents to make an explosive device into a necklace of which its sound-based trigger is put inside Sam's trumpet.

The movie actually gave us a significant lesson of how technology that is developed by mankind to give us security and convenience can be threats to our own safety. The supercomputer ARIIA made a lot of chaos by remotely controlling any networked device and with the technology we have right now, there are a thousand chances that supercomputer machines like that that is housed in Pentagon will be used with us in our everyday work. So it is just necessary for humans to not depend everything on computers especially if they can control other computers because they can impose danger to human life.

Pirates of Silicon Valley

This film is all about the history and experiences of the people behind the two popular companies Apple and Microsoft. It narrates how these people faced their struggles to create the two empires of the big-time computer companies.

Pirates of Silicon Valley tells more of the comparison of how these two had their start in their business. It tells much of their operations and differences in their founders' management and operations with the company business.

The story also narrates misadventures that happened between meetings of these two rivals who gained popularity among the public due to their inventions in technology. There were some pirated software schemes between the two and of course, they were not good terms of business deals. The story was amazing because it gives the viewers the idea of how technology changed the way life like it is now as it had when these two popular computer companies began and rose in their business.

SURROGATES

SURROGATES

Surrogate is a movie where humans live isolation and only interact through remote-controlled artificial bodies that serve as surrogates. Surrogate defines as one that takes the place of another; a substitute. This movie happens when the world has overrun with robots. Many human beings have chosen to have a replica or surrogate of themselves. Humans are able to remotely control their other self and send it to the world to do for them what they normally would have done with themselves. Thus, the world becomes peaceful wherein there is no crimes, and no pains. However, there are several humans gets killed when his surrogate is destroyed, a cop who where plays by Bruce Willis investigates the crimes through his own surrogate.

This movie has brought a lesson to us humans who are too dependent on the technology. It teaches us that there is nothing wrong with getting older. We live and we die, and that is how were brought up to learn. In reality, just like in this movie, many people hiding behind their internet persona to upper better that they are instead of meeting people face-to-face to socialize. If we are to remember, the initially intention of the creation of robots were to allow disabled people to experience things that only physically normal individual could, not to gives humans reason to leave their house just like what is being portray in this movie. Another is the development of chat rooms, where it purposely serve as a communication line to bring people together when real interaction or physical interaction is not possible, not to act as a permanent substitute for daily in person interaction. It only shows that the real purpose was lost in both cases which somehow change the way people live their lives.

WALL-E

WALL-E

The movie situates on the year of 2700 where the world has long been uninhabitable. Humans have abandoned the earth because it has been covered with trash and waste which causes devoid of the plants and animal life. All human beings where continue their life in the outer space while the earth is preparing to its restoration. For how many years, only one robot remains on cleaning the earth, that is Wall-e. Wall-e (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) is the garbage collecting robot that has left to clean the mess of the earth.

Watching the movie, made me realized how the earth will be looked like when people act as an irresponsible human being throwing all their trash that leads to destroying the mother earth. Wall-e as a garbage collector robot has expending years to clean up the garbage left by uncaring and selfish people who are enjoying their lives in the spaceship Axiom. They have just waiting for the day when the earth is ready and available to be inhabitable. The movie is reminding everyone of us we might end up just like what is in this movie. We might headed to the same direction in which making our world inhabitable. As what we observe to our surroundings today, we have effectively polluted the land, water and air supply. Here in the movie, people are not worried on what happened to the earth and even thinking of learning to conserve it. However, we can never blame them because everything they do is cared by the machines. We all know we are too much dependent on technology since it makes us to save time and become efficient. Unfortunately, our dependency with those machines have isolated us from one another. The movie stresses out the rampant commercialism in Axiom. In the spaceship where people are aboard everything is being provided. Even if those things are not needed. For the Big and Large Corporation everything is provided that given them away to profit. As you observe on the people on Axiom, they are all suffering from obesity. Obesity has become the epidemic on the people on board to the spaceship because everything is cared of by the machine in which walking and standing became useless activities to humankind. They don't have time to have some exercise because they are comfortable of having hover chair in doing everything all day. With this movie, it makes us realized that yes technology is a great help us, it make things easier but too much reliance of those might as well give disadvantage to us.

iRobots

The story of the movie takes place in the year of 2035, which the part of technological revolution. It is futuristic scenery where the world has filled with millions of servant robots. These robots have used to do all the manual labor. They are the perfect helper to the society. Humans are free to enjoy their lives without the stress. Robots have been hardwired with the said three laws (The Three Laws of Robotics) that make them incapable of harming the society. Yet there is murder happen to one of the robotics science who is a friend of Will Smith in this movie. Will Smith plays the role of Detective Spooner who has distrust of the robots because of the incident in his past. It is believed that his friend has committed suicide which Spooner does not consider. Spooner suspicion on the incident falls to Sonny, the unique robot who has dreams and emotions.

With this movie, it leaves me a question to me if could robots will take over the world. Definitely, robots is really has a great help to the society. We all know automation has currently exists in many areas, in our house, at our work and even to the new technologies that have invented. Exoskeleton is the external skeleton that would help disabled people to move and making them less dependency with other people. One of the advantages of robots will be a replacement human in the areas of security, surveillance and defense, such soldiers and armies which will result be less human deaths. But having robots will bring drawbacks to the society. If robots will carry out all the labors tasks in the company, industry or all human workloads surely unemployment will arise might as well poorly paid workers. I cannot truly justify if robots are a great help or would be a destruction to human existence.
