What techno can do. How good a human can be. This movie gives you a lot of insight into the future. In-spite of the obvious logic flaws*, the movie does have a strong impact on the way one thinks. Oh and as always i see no reason for online ratings for the movie(20% by rotten tomatoes come-on it deserves more than that, some things stand above logic, you know what i'm talking about if you see the movie).
No judging this one - I'd just say it's a must watch movie for every geek out there.
A quote from Will Caster, form The Transcendence -
My Lovely Wife Wants To Change The World. I'll Settle For Understanding It First.
Avtar! The highest earing movie world wide. I see nothing impractical there.
A movie about humanity, definitely. But also it opens our mind to whole now possibilities. The connection of technology and biology. A language that could bring soul 0's and 1's. An ocean of opportunities!
Also give them the tech but be in control!
P.S. - Sorry not a hardcore writer so i'm fine giving up some editing for the movie :-P
A & B were best friends for 4 years if their engineering from IIT. A did his B.Tech CSE at IIT Bombay and B did Mechanical Engineering in the same college. Both of them were hired in a multinational company with fat salaries. A was the top developer at apple and B was in Hundai.
Years passed… A soon traveled abroad and the friends were no longer in touch. A quit his job at apple and joined another reputed company and became the company's CEO in a few years. 10 years after his graduation he got a chance to come to India. He decided to go on a long drive on the outskirts of Bombay and so he was all set. As luck would have it his cars tyre was punctured just a short distance from a garage. He got some help to get his car to the garage to fix it.
And there was B in greased clothes ready to service A’s car. Stunned, A asked B how come he landed here! He could have been a billionaire by now and most likely a CEO of some multinational company. He knew B well enough, becoming a CEO would not be at all difficult for B.
B smiled and answered, “I left my job just a month after joining bro. I always wanted to use my own hands to repair and design stuff. I wanted to fix peoples cars and bikes all of my own. Here I get to do that and I love it.”
A was in tears, being a CEO has nothing to do with success he knew that he always did. He also knew that his heart was in becoming a full time open source developer. That’s what got him into CSE. He knew he should have followed his heart and he would be happier even if he was just among the thousands contributing. He knew it all, but he never dared to go against the flow.

"Ten years from now, make sure you can say that you chose your life, you didn't settle for it."
Reminds me of one of the songs in my childhood collection...
This might be the first time Im really not annoyed after signing up for a website newsletter.
This site has some pretty cool stuff to offer. Their newsletter (which is daily I guess) has a nice looking format and has topics in which any geek would have a fair amount of interest. A real 'Must try'!
The website might be a clutter but the newsletter sorts things out.
Here's another one of the many interesting(and annoyingly many) ads on YouTube. There's also a full movie version available on their web site and also on YouTube if you wanna checkout - personally i just watched the trailer now and found it interesting will see the full movie soon...
/**The guy in the later movie looks like a ideal person(i only saw the trailer) and i'm not the person who does anything just cause it's fun although most of the times it might end up benefiting people - the world needs such guys but many top universities focus on the cool stuff to make teaching interesting(CS50) and by all means i love it. Service to humanity should be a byproduct or desired product is for you to decide.**/
I've always despised apple because of it being a all closed source secret and only upper class/non-affordable products but now looking at some of it's awesome features makes me rethink! I couldn't stop myself from liking the promo videos of three Appleproducts in a row. All i could say for all of them was WOW.
The next thing that's needed for the world is the openness of opensource with the awesomeness of propitiatory products.
The last one is what technology is for. It's meant to dissolve in your life without you knowing - to make you life your life just a bit better.
