in my eyes it's among the best 3 shows i've watched.. i watched it years ago when it first came out and i was in awe of its screenplay structure, its vision, its depiction of the future.. i rewatched it with netflix and i was in awe all over again.
the internet was opened to worldwide use militarily in the 1960s, and as a civilian thing 30 years after that, in the 1990s. gps started being used militarily in 1980. because they couldn't get out ahead of globalization, it spread across the world in the 2000s along with the development of devices, as a result of civilian demand. everyone's location is known at any given moment.. even though the applied history of drone technology goes back very far, it was used in the 70s, became practical militarily in the 90s, and fully landed in the field in the 2010s. we're being watched from kilometers above.. ai has been designed/discussed since the 1950s, the era of mechanical computers, and was put forth for end-user consumption from the 2020s onward. it continues to evolve.. robot designs have been tested for years, but civilian contracted, state-backed technology companies have been on the verge of nearly completing humanoid machines since 2010. it's inevitable to think that humanoid robots won't be wandering among us with ai integration in the future.. it's obvious that a part of asimov's utopia will come to pass..
the news regarding the methods of implanting a chip in every person and controlling, steering, and tracking them this way, the kind mentioned in conspiracy theories, is a projection of the years ahead. there are very serious arguments that cell phones and social media are being used as the vanguard of this. it's impossible that finch's machine hasn't been built; whoever controls the machine also controls world intelligence..
