Artificial Intelligence.
Interesting fact: the term was first coined by John McCarthy.
Artificial Intelligence is referred to as being the science of making and engineering intelligent machines. Research in AI is concerned with producing machines to automate tasks requiring intelligent behavior. The history of A.I starts with Alan Turing unveiling his Turing Test, which is proposed to test a machines capability to have a human like conversation and demonstrate thought. One of the most famous A.I machines is the Deep Blue chess machine. Now we have things like AIBO, the robo dog, and even more annoying - The Sims!
The future of A.I includes 40 more expansion packs for The Sims. (Maybe even Sims: AI! Robot sims everywhere!) The future of Artificial Intelligence may turn into I, Robot. But there is a demand for using A.I for security purposes even since the 9/11 attacks.

RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. It is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag is an object that can be attached to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radio waves.
they use RFID's in libraries. Bison works at a library!
they want to put RFID's in our persons to keep track of us.
Not a good idea.

Okay, can I just rant here for a second?
What is the purpose of hackers? Do they just...hack things to just feel better about themselves? Why do they reap so much pleasure from making everyone else's internet experience terrible?!
Hackers boggle my mind. Honestly. These buggers who create spam mail and crap like that - what is the purpose? They barely benefit from it, either. Especially the spam mail that doesn't even have a link to click on to hack into all your personal information. The spam that sucks is the e-mails that just have random words written into it like the ones that P sometimes gets.
In the case of the man who hacked in NASA, apparently all the damages were exaggerated. I don't blame NASA, trying to milk it for all its worth, but yet when Gary goes to court, I think that kind of violates his rights to a fair trial just because NASA wants to make it sound worse than it is.

I would like to watch the whole movie, as it seems to jump around a lot but touches on all very interesting topics. From the internet, to Ted Kaczinski, to LSD, it sounds more like a giant conspiracy movie than anything. But I wouldn't be able to say offically because i haven't seen the whole thing.
I'm not saying that I doubt the information given to me about these people who work for technology corporations, who were targeted by Ted, but I'm confused about the entire movie in it's multi-lingual, topic skipping glory.
