ASSASSINS FROM THE FUTURE

What is the difference between humans and machines? They’re both the same but not identical. If you think humans are smarter than machines, you might want to consider the meaning of “artificial intelligence”. As technology develops, it’s amazing – or should I say creepy, to see what machines are capable of doing at the present time or in the future.

If you think machines have to be programmed to be able to respond to their surroundings, then you’d better consider about machines that are able to re-program themselves. Everything that humans can do can also be done by machines – not to mention machines have better accuracy and consistency.

So if you ask me whether the war between machines and humans are possible to happen in the future, my answer will be – it’s very possible. We often create things that we ourselves cannot control. We often create our own dooms. Machines are created to help humans, but not all people have the same purpose – as they say, knives and coins always have two sides.

One of the best movies about machines is The Terminator and its sequels. The Terminator tells a story about a terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) – a cyborg disguised in a perfect humanoid form that was sent from the future (year of 2029) to the present time. It had only one purpose – to terminate a woman named Sarah Connor. Why sending a robot just to kill a woman? Hmm... a good question that can only be answered by watching this movie.

Sarah was supposed to give birth to a man named John Connor in the future. John Connor would be the last hope for the mankind to win the war between machines and humans. Sarah also had a protector named Reese Kyle – also sent from the future. The problem was, Reese was only an ordinary human who was far weaker than the unstoppable Terminator.

It was truly a nightmare for Sarah as she never expected that her life would become so important for the future. The Terminator was close on her tail with Reese Kyle desperately tried to save her life as well as his own. This was the beginning of a judgment day. The movies will tell you the rest…

Be careful and be responsible for everything that you create…

The terminators teach us a very important lesson. They’re consistent and determined to their missions and targets… They will keep fighting… Never complains… Never get tired… Never stop… Until terminated… We all should fight like them…

But what really differentiate us from the machines? It all lies within our hearts… It is something that cannot be programmed.
