4 great films and 1 great tv show about technology gone awry...2001,Strange Days,Planet Of The Apes(the original,not Tim Burton's useless remake) and 1984 with John Hurt and in his last performance Richard Burton. The Prisoner is essential tv. Watch these and you may think twice about which way we are headed. Technology dependent...Socially inept...be seeing you

Be seeing you?

No you'll be seeing it. Seeing your tv it seems.

Go watch TV. Complaining without a viable potential solution? That's called whining.

Along those lines.....

Anybody remember the movie "Silent Running"? I used to love that movie... wonder if it held up over time. I'll have to see if I can find it.
