Yo, Robot

The kids left for one last summer visit to their grandmother's for a few days this afternoon, so I went to see I, Robot with my dad and brother. Pretty good movie, though I think some things were a little out of place for the year 2035. I think some things will take longer to occur than 30 years from now, but others I think would have been far surpassed by then. I mean, I'm 30 years old, and when I was born I think everyone on the planet would have predicted that cars would no longer be running on fossil fuels by now -- which in the movie they give the impression that cars don't run on gas anymore -- so that just one example. And while I think robotics has come a long way, and will be quite advanced in 2035, I'm not sure it will be quite up to the level of the movie. Maybe they should have made it 2055.
