I Robot, directed by Alex Proyas, is a film that shows how modern technology will advance within the years; making people question their everyday lifestyle. In I Robot, the main character Detective Del Spooner, had us follow his journey on questioning societal expectations. This all began from the creation that Dr. Alfred Lanning, who created the robots as well as V.I.K.I. The main NS5 robot in the movie is named Sonny, who questioned his purpose of life as a robot. This Film was designed to have us question, understand the rules and order in situations and evolve with society. In this film, we can recognize that Det Del Spooner isn't too keen on having robots around to help with their tasks. He believes that by having the NS5 robots do our tasks makes us as humans less dependable on ourselves. We don’t evolve and become stagnated in our own society waiting for the robots to do the chore. Det Del Spooner witnesses how everyone around him fully rely on their robots for their tasks. One scene where Det Del Spooner observes a robot running with a purse. Of course, he assumed that the robot just stole the bag. Afterwards, it is uncovered that this robot was not stealing but running to give his owner her purse. Consequently, the robot was just doing his job and helping his owner. This displays how Det Del Spooner is very cautious and doesn’t believe that the robots will maintain the laws set up for them when created. The laws were set up to protect the humans, to obey the
The purpose of my project is to discover how technology is represented within the film Tron. To answer this research question, I viewed and analyzed the movie and incorporated information from the text and various websites. While studying this film, I took into consideration factors such as images and language used, how technology is related to society, and what symbols the creator used to convey certain qualities of technology. In this research paper, I will begin by explaining the significance of this project and my areas of research. I will then relay the focus of my investigation, the methods I employed to gain my research, analyze the film, and discuss the implications of my analysis.
The increased development of artificial intelligence and the everyday use of technology can lead to a future full of robots, claims Eastlyn Koons in Robots are Better than Humans.

Jerry West’s article “Robots on Earth” talks about robots that, unlike books or movies, aid people simplifying their lives and health. As robots don’t need specific conditions; they are perfect for performing jobs that might be harmful to humans. Like the R2 humanoid at the International Space Station, which completes dangerous and mundane tasks for astronauts and frees their time. They also boost our health; they are working with scientists to create an exoskeleton for quadriplegic people. Robots aren’t evil, they’re useful machines that have so much to offer and make our lives safer.lives
Murder and disarray are two consequences of choosing to live by telling a lie. The characterization in the novel Rebecca better shows that lying cannot bring ultimate happiness than the 2004 film “i, Robot”. These points are displayed by author Daphne Du Maurier’s use of dismissing problems, fearing confrontation, and accepting the past.
The characters reliance on technology is shown immensely throughout these films. Avatar directed by James Cameron, Oblivion Directed by Joseph Kosinski, I Robot directed by Alex Proyas and Enders Game directed by Gavin Hood. All of these films show the convention of the characters reliance on technology in the Sci-Fi genre. They display how much humanity depends on technology to defend themselves or take the fight to the enemy.
V.I.K.I., from Proyas’s rendition of Asimov’s “I, Robot”, is similar to the creation of Frankenstein’s creature. It begins as a “blank slate”, and is programmed knowledge through the scientist Dr. Lanning. The “3 Laws of Robotics” are the main rules each robot is equipped with. They
Technology. When we hear that word what is the first thing that comes to mind? Is it the newest phone that has just come out or the newest computer with that is touch screen? Is all of this making it hard for us to intact with each other?
The future world of I, Robot is introduced to the audience through the eyes of Detective Del Spooner (Will Smith). Before he experienced a tragedy, he used to be a normal person, but now he seems to be
Robot is the story of an awesome hacker and doleful soul who cannot seem to connect with anything in the real world. Elliot, the protagonist, is a tech drone at an e-security company by day and a ball wrecking, squirrelly young computer genius by night, who roams the nighttime streets of Manhattan dropping his hammer on the villainy of corrupt men. This Neo-cyber-avenger, while often lost in psychic pain or morphine, nurtures the notion of “saving everyone from the invisible hand” and he does it with style. Elliot struggles with whether he should narc on Mr. Robot to the Feds or join his revolution and incite global
Sherry Turkle begins the book by talking about our relationships with robots and how it is going to change our society. Robots are another way for us to interact. We can interact with them as if they are people and they can assist us in our day to day lives. This is an example of our society being fragmented as it is another way for us to interact in society.
After watching the movie I, Robot, I find that many ethical issues come about from the technology shown in the movie. The movie takes place in 2035 and is about robots that are programmed with Three Laws: First Law-A robot must never harm a human being or, through inaction, allow any harm to come to a human; Second Law-A robot must obey the orders given to them by human beings, except where such orders violate the First Law; Third Law- A robot must protect its own existence unless this violates the First or Second Laws. Humans use these robots to do common tasks for them. Some of the ethical questions arisen from this movie include do robots have the ability to make emotional or ethical decision, are they entitled to the same rights as
The movie I, Robot directed by Alex Proyas starring Will Smith as detective Del Spooner, introduces ideas to of revolution and over-morality to the humans. Spooner begins the movie dreaming about the tragedy that had happened to the little 11 year old girl he was friends with and how the robot decided to choose to save him and not her. They were in a tragic car accident and both cars had fallen into the bay. When the rescue team robot came, he yelled at it to save her, but the robot decided to save him instead, because it calculated that he had a higher percent chance of surviving, in other words, he was more “worth it”. From then on, Spooner believed that robots are do not have a heart, they can only base their decisions on logic and programs, that is, until he meets Sunny.
The robot had been out for 24 hours now and already Jasper has lost his family from the explosions. All 4 of them were dead except for him. He was alone and the frigid night air had engulfed him in chills as he lay on the hard, burned ground.The robot….the robot was originally a government project. Then the AI nuclear robot went rogue, escaping the facility where the tests were being run and started blowing everything up across Dead Creek, Farem, the capital of the Government.
Think ten years into the future, as you come home from work and the house has been cleaned, the kids have started their homework, and dinner is almost finished. After dinner you sit back and relax as your children are put to bed and the kitchen is cleaned, soon you go take a bath that has already been prepared for you. Your personal robot completing the long list of chores you left for it has plugged itself in for the night and will be ready for more work tomorrow.
Isaac Asimov thrills the reader with his story-telling ability in "I, Robot". Of course, many of Asimov's ideas provide a ploy to add suspense to the story. However, when the plot completely disagree with the laws which he himself has written, the story becomes confusing. On the surface, it appears that his stories make legitimate and logical sense, as well as entertaining the audience in a magnificent way. However, any deeper analysis of the story will prove that there are several significant flaws in the work. This can best be shown in one of Asimov's earlier stories, "Reason." In this story, the first and second of the three laws of robotics are broken. It is never explained how it would be
