After seeing the movie 9, it has left me constantly thinking about the future of the planet. The movie presents a setting in which “man’s endless pursuit for technology” made them blind to the resources that were being swallowed up more and more. A totalitarian government turned to scientists to create an artificial intelligence robot that will help the nation prosper, and before it’s finished testing it is taken away to build more machines like it. Unfortunately, the machine buckles under the government’s pressure and turns against humanity, ensuing chaos until no one is left.
This movie, like Wall-E, made me feel particularly nervous about what will happen to the planet. The human race is constantly expanding and overpopulation is an issue, as well as nuclear power, and our depleting resources. Granted, the possibility of this happening in my lifetime, I’m finding to be very slim, but to me, it is still very worrying. Even so, is there a way we can possibly avoid this end, or is it eventually inevitable?
