When talking about a technological Utopia and Dystopia and class there was one thing that immediately came to mind: the movie Equilibrium. If any of you have seen it please comment. It is a movie about a future society that has the developed the technology to eliminate all human emotion. Everyone takes it because they believe that it will bring peace and end all wars. Though it is successful in bringing peace and extinguishing hate, people forget that they are left without any creativity or love. i believe that the movie shows good examples of both a utopia and a dystopia. Although its not exactly about robots taking over or anything, it shows us what can happen if we develop technologies that go too far. I am posting a link to the youtube movie trailer:

I am also posting a link to a website that updates people on the latest news in robot technology. Its weird that society is trying to constantly develop robots that are more and more human like. We want to make robots that can learn. But what will happen when we do?? I know things like ASIMO are far from being human but why do we want to make them so smart?
