For this assignment, I chose to "The Terminator" because I have never seen it before and it might seem interesting. Well since this movie came out about twenty years ago I think it would be terrifying the idea of robots because it was a creation for destruction and murder. Arnold Schwarzenegger played the lead role in this movie as the terminator himself. According to IMDb, he was indestructible robot who was sent from 2029 to 1984 to assassinate a waitress whose unborn son will lead humanity into a war against humans. It is terrifying to me because the waitress has no idea why he was sent to terminate her and now she is fighting for her life from something that cannot be stopped nor destroyed.
I don't think robots become acceptable by people because in almost every film something goes wrong and the bots turn evil and try to dominate the human race which is something anyone can fear. Maybe the people who are actually more into technology than into humanities have some type of hope for robots. As for the humanities side we still kind of have our guards up against the whole idea.
We might accept accept robots in the future and the promise of technology if it would actually benefit us in many ways. Well it maybe will be since humanities depends on technology for almost every single thing on this earth, (communication, electricity, medical, transportation,etc). But it still lurks in your mind the idea of bots taking over and humans are under their hands instead. Food for thought.
