Did you see the movie “Surrogates” from 2009? Just this far into the future, it’s a way-too plausible outcome of dependence on technology. The scenario is that robots, directed by people from their computers, play out the lives of those people. The effects are somewhat realistic and chilling.
I saw it. We are innately tool users, we love our toys. And of course there’s always the question of why is this line suddenly too far? We’ve been dependent on our tech at least since we invented the plow, and we’re just going to keep on making it better until we can’t. And can’t won’t come because we hit some ceiling, it’ll come because we screwed up and died.
