Tron, Wikileaks and Me

Even though I am in film school I am not very savvy when it comes to movie knowledge. From the time I watched my first movie until now I have mostly watched for fun.  Its  a hard habit to break.  Tron was an interesting flick. It was cool to watch a picture that was made in 1982 and see there perspective on what they thought would happen in the future of computers. I'm not very sure that a computer will ever be self sustaining with out the help from a human.

With Tron and Wikileaks I think the correlation is how the results will effect the human race. In Tron the MCP (Master Control Program) was going to take over the world if left alone.  In the real world we have Wikileaks a program that has the power to control the world in its own right.  By leaking information that may cause countries to be at war with each other.  In the movie we were able to send in someone to help stop the madness, because he help to create the problem.  The Wikileaks guy has to see that what he is doing is madness and he will have to put a stop to it. 

In terms of Tron I guess we will have to zap him into the system so that he can go and destroy the program from the inside.  But who knows when we will have that technology to do this type of work.  We will have to wait and see.
