A footnote here as accords my last Toy Story 4 post:
As I confessed in that last post, I am behind the times. Perhaps too much so… I don’t know. And I don’t watch all that much TV either. Modern media seems to be so pre-possessed with the conditioning and indoctrination of the masses, that I feel some reluctance in watching too much television.
That being said, I have to reiterate how incredible computer animation has become. I suppose this all primarily started with Pixar’s original 1995 film, Toy Story. The state-of-the-art has only advanced since then obviously. I watched (and enjoyed) another computer animation film yesterday called Robots (2005). Very entertaining => anthropomorphic robots enduring life’s hassles. Another creative piece gone wild. And funny.
Where will this all end? With advancing computer technology, holographic technology, and artificial intelligence… is the “holodeck” far away? Boggles the mind trying to extrapolate things. Kinda’ scary too. You don’t dare believe everything you see on film these days. Reality is spoofed all too easily.
Comic strips ==> cartoons ==> computer animation ==> ???
This brings corollary questions to mind: can robots actually become sentient one day? If so, will they have civil rights? Could robots mayhap evolve into a threat to the human species? I guess these may be possible discussions for future posts.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
