A War We Unleashed On Ourselves

Primary Focus: War

I'm sure we should all be very familiar with this movie - The Terminator. The fourth and most recent movie focuses on the war that happens after the machines take over in the third movie (Judgement day). The scariest part of the story of terminator is how probable it all really is. Technology is evolving fast beyond our control, it shouldn't be long before we start creating machines that surpass our own intelligence. Once we have machines that can think for themselves it'll all be downhill from there. The movie really shows how the machines (our very own creation) become much more powerful than us and seeks to destroy the human race. This is essentially 'A war we unleashed on ourselves' because we created these things to help us, and in the end it may very well be the end of us. The Terminator series definitely criticizes our use and advances in technology, and it also acts as a warning to us. If we continue to seek things more powerful than ourselves then that very own thing might be powerful enough to turn against us. Our impending doom will be from a war against the very monster we created, because in technology we could never have enough - we always want more, and eventually we may end up paying the ultimate price for that.
