t2

We were told to watch the terminator two for class on Wednesday. I have seen this movie around ten years ago and seeing it again under the context of this course, i interpret it completely differently. The Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court showed us how technology brought back in time would ream mayhem on civilization. The Yankee's new ideas brought him in control of society. When i watched terminator two i realized how technology could lead to complete disaster. By creating an evolutionary self thinking computer chip Miles Dyson inadvertently causes the destruction of man kind in the feature. The chip will gradually evolve and become a mind of its own and people will lose control of it. The movie opens with the final battle between humans and machines with the machines emerging victorious. The humans send back a robot as a last effort to destroy the original chip and as a response the machines send back a robot to kill the leader of the human resistance while he is a child. Of course the humans inferior robot manages to out play the machine liquid metal killing machine and succeed in destroying the first evolutionary microchip that really is not that micro.
