I’ve just watched an old TTZ episode - The Old Man In The Cave. The plot, very briefly is 10 years after a nuclear war a group of survivors take advice from the old man in the title in order to survive. Only it turns out that the ‘old man’ is actually a computer. I then read the Wiki page on the episode and it is one that is used in discussion topics regarding our relationship with computers, with a question of “do we control computers or do they control us?” That got me thinking about our complete reliance on computers and technology today and the answers I’m sure are not that easy or palatable.
Of course we control you . I have directed Gelders to go out for a walk , so that I can see his media stuff uninterrupted. Have a nice day , best regards Gelders’ laptop
great them i have all the original series and outer limits, the burgess meredith is also post war he is a book worm and finds a library but i will not give the ending away ! did you know the follow up was called the night gallery and in colour which i also have them, Kolchak was ok, one step beyond, thriller, doomwatch, the recent quartermass was not too good though. Saphire and steel is coming to talking pictures that was canny.
Today I have watched The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street. An interesting little vignette about suburban paranoia in the light of seemingly unexplained and unexpected phenomena.
