I-Robot

I recently watched the film I-Robot which is about robots that are used as servants for humans and several public services which is set in 2035. The robot have to live by The Three Laws which are:

1. Robots do not harm or injure a human being or let a human come to harm from anybody else.
2. Robots are given orders by humans in which they must obey apart from when orders conflict with the first law.
3. Robots must protect itself but protection can not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

 Will Smith plays detective Spooner who doesn't trust these robots and hates the fast development of technology. After being in a car accident, he was saved by a robot, who Spooner thinks he should of saved a 12 year old little girl. Spooner then meets Dr Alfred Lanning who created the three laws and fits Spooner a replacement robotic arm after the accident. The film begins with Spooner investigating the death of Lanning.

I robot shows subjects about technology and the differences among robots and humans. In the film they have old robots that are no longer useful to the humans, because newer up to date robots have been created. However one of the robots has been developed further than expected and he begins to make decisions for himself without being told by a human what to do which is showing what could possibly happen at a later date in the future. 

This film shows the up and coming development and improvement in technology which is going to help me think about a direction of the cyborg theme I want to look at.
