Description

Are the claims made about computers exaggerated? Will they really be able to think? What about young fantatics who seem to prefer the company of machines to humans? Some of these have cracked the code of big businesses and educational concerns, illegally, and can cause havoc. Then there is the example of a young paraplegic who has a computer to supply most of his needs. His brother bult it, and it can speak to him and he to it. But increasingly computers are used for weapons and all aspects of ‘defence’. Some say that the technology is as great a threat as the warheads themselves, giving no time for rational decisions to be taken in tense situations.

The imagery and film quality may not be to modern standards but is useful for historical use.
