Response: Zeros + Ones by Sadie Plant

It's nice to catch up on the history of computation.

I particularly enjoyed reading the different A.I. iterations made throughout the years made to fool people trying to distinguish who is the real person and who is the computer, in order to see if computers could actually get to the point of fooling men. It reminded me of the fear most people have of being replaced someday by computers.

At one point, Sadie even talks about Bladerunner, one of the best movies out there related to this topic. The movie clearly depicts how technology can get to a point in which we can't distinguish who is human and who is not, so humans ban androids to another planet out of fear of being replaced.



Ever since I read this, I've felt like watching it again. Its definitely one of the best movies out there.
