WarGames: 25 Ann (WS/DVD) (DVD 25th Anniversary Edition) [DVD]

I've always loved this movie! takes me back to my military days when I worked at NORAD 😊 DVD is in excellent condition and arrived on time.. I will order from this company again 😊

This is one of those movies that seems almost prophetic these days, when it comes to considering the pros and cons of the fast growing embrace of AI technology. Computer software (even the software that makes up AI) is only as good as the human beings who write the programs. Unlike the inventor of "Joshua" in this story, its does not take long before hundreds of different programmers have their hands in the "works" of the thoughts that the machine's brain reads. It would be nice if, like this AI computer called "Joshua," only one inventor/programmer ever touched the given AI's code. But is that realistic? Sometime, ask a programmer what "spaghetti code" is. What if " What if this movie's computer, Joshua, had several different programmers over time make changes to the AI software's code, how would this movie's story have played out then? What would our hero have done then? I recently went back and watched this movie again. What if they had put our slightly confused AI computer friend into a supersonic jet fighter, all by itself, armed and with no human being onboard the aircraft, what would this story look like then? An interesting consideration, just for fun of course. Watch the movie again, if a few years have passed since you first saw it. It raises some interesting issues that wiser minds than my own seem unconcerned about. Seems so anyway. Always a fun movie to escape into. ...A littleTwilight Zone music called for here.
