Technology and its use have been accelerating at an exponential rate and we have to learn to cope with that reality. Technology that we currently dont recognize will spring up in a few short years. New technologies like the computer and the internet will change our lives and the world.

There are so many futuristic sci-fi movies and none of them seem realistic, some have nanobots but they are not used for much or widespread, which goes against the whole idea of nanobots. None of them have all the people with eternal lives from nanorobots and AI, on eternal retirement, which seems most likely. But I guess that would be a boring movie, but without movies like this the people have no idea what's coming because they are not going to read books like TSIN and understand them properly. So the TSIN movie is a good thing, but it's not enough and it's not the right type (blockbuster type). I’ve been waiting for this movie for years.
