Minority Report

We watched "Minority Report" last night. It was intriguing. It makes you wonder what the future will be like. The "pre-cogs" (pre-cognitives) were something else. It would be interesting to know if there are people out there who can predict crimes.

Synopsis

In Washington, D.C., in the year 2054, murder has been eliminated. The future is seen and the guilty punished before the crime has ever been committed. From a nexus deep within the Justice Department's elite Precrime Unit, all the evidence to convict - from imagery alluding to the time, place and other details - is seen by "Pre-Cogs," three psychic beings whose visions of murder have never been wrong. It is the nation's most advanced crime force, a perfect system. And no-one works harder for Precrime than its top man, Chief John Anderton (Tom Cruise). Destroyed by a tragic loss, Anderton has thrown all of his passion into a system that could potentially spare thousands of people from the tragedy he lived through. Six years later, the coming vote to take it national has only fuelled his conviction that Precrime works. Anderton has no reason to doubt it... until he becomes its #1 suspect. Based on a short story by Philip K. Dick.

The human mind is an amazing thing. I have very lucid and vivid dreams. If only I could record or tap into those thoughts. With all the technology and knowledge being fed into our brains it will be interesting to see what evolves.

I am very aggravated using the computer today with all the pop-ups interrupting my typing and everything else. What a nuisance. It's like a fly or mosquito constantly buzzing, you swat it away and it comes back to bug you again. I don't see the point. I wonder if this is because of the Windows XP software that was recently installed on this computer.
