Films like the Matrix and Terminator depict a dystopian future where technology dominates humanity with its superior processing power. The Terminator is a robot that can instantly learn how to drive any vehicle, use any weapon or recognise any face. This daunting feat lurks in the imagination of some techno-geek and is far from reality.
The real dystopia of technology is that it never fully delivers on its promise. Like the Terminator, it will always be something we imagine working. The reality is that technology raises up our hopes promising solutions and advancement and then dashes them with crashes and complexity making us feel vulnerable and dependent.
