The Terminator

Its hard to imagine that some of the stuff predicted in many sci fi movies as well as books are actually coming to fruition. The scary part about that is how close to reality will these movies and books prove to be. Movies like the Matrix, and the terminator are just a couple of popular movies that touch on subjects having to do with the future and our struggle with advanced technology. Those examples might seem a bit far fetched, especially with the idea of computers and robots thinking for themselves but go back just 40 years and tell someone about the advanced technology we have now and they probably wouldn't believe you! Even the movie war games plays with the idea of computers causing havoc, fast forward and watch the movie eagle eye. We can all laugh it off as pop culture paranoia or we can look at the recent use of advanced technologies. How long will it take before and unmanned drone is used without a pilot controlling it remote control. Technology has helped us in many ways but lets really think at what cost, then multiply that times 30 years or 50 years and get back to me with your answer.
