Technology Through the Eagle Eye Movie

Have you ever felt as if you could not live without the technology we have today? I rely on my cell phone and I love being able to connect with people on the internet. The thing about all this technology is that we are putting ourselves out there. Are we setting ourselves up to be monitored? Will computers be able to override our thoughts and make decisions for us?

My husband and I watched an interesting movie tonight. Eagle Eye, starring Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan, will make you think about how everyday technology might be used against us. I was riveted to my seat waiting to see how stop lights could be changed from red to green, cell phones of strangers could be programmed to relay messages. Those were only a few events that turned innocent information processors into weapons of destruction. Is it possible that technology would ever override human decision?

This was a terrific movie. You won’t want to read blogs while this movie is in the DVD player.
