the primer universe of time travel...

http://theprimeruniverse.blogspot.com
Some people regard Primer as one of the best time travel movies around.
http://qntm.org/primer
Its not just the concept, but how fascinating it can be to explore various scenarios.
http://theprimeruniverse.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-final-post.html
I hope that the creator of this blog eventually makes some more posts. There are always more
questions-and-answers to consider about the concept of time travel.

From THE MACHINE STOPS to the dark deep web, AGI and beyond... Welcome To The Machine · Pink Floyd

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Machine_Stops (1909) , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWiBicmWuNg

"The story describes a world in which most of the human population has lost the ability to live on the surface of the Earth. Each individual now lives in isolation below ground in a standard room, with all bodily and spiritual needs met by the omnipotent, global Machine. Travel is permitted but is unpopular and rarely necessary. Communication is made via a kind of instant messaging/video conferencing machine with which people conduct their only activity: the sharing of ideas and what passes for knowledge."

"Those who do not accept the deity of the Machine are viewed as 'unmechanical' and threatened with Homelessness. The Mending Apparatus—the system charged with repairing defects that appear in the Machine proper—has also failed by this time, but concerns about this are dismissed in the context of the supposed omnipotence of the Machine itself."

"Finally, the Machine collapses, bringing 'civilization' down with it. Kuno comes to Vashti's ruined room. Before they both perish, they realise that humanity and its connection to the natural world are what truly matters, and that it will fall to the surface-dwellers who still exist to rebuild the human race and to prevent the mistake of the Machine from being repeated."

Unconventional ways Supercomputers are Used: Part 2

The Lord of the Rings
"Considering this movie’s high-flying, detailed special effects, I’m not surprised the director, Peter Jackson, turned to supercomputing to help create these lifelike experiences. To make the weather, buildings and vegetation accurate enough to turn J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth into real-world sets and environments, Jackson and his team enlisted supercomputing resources from the New Zealand Supercomputing Centre. Jackson also created a special effects studio, Weta Digital, where all the magic would happen — with, of course, the help of a supercomputer.

Dr. Dan Lunt, an expert on past climate change at the University of Bristol (and also a fan of the trilogy) ran his own simulations on a supercomputer to model the famously detailed map of Middle Earth. Tolkien wrote entire mythologies detailing the creation and evolution of the land, with staggering detail. By creating a climate prediction model, Lunt was able to accurately create 70 years of climate change in the different parts of Middle Earth. He found that Mount Doom (where the evil ring of power must be destroyed) is like Los Angeles — hot and dry — while the Shire is similar to Leicestershire in the U.K."

Well, another CES show has run its course.
http://www.cesweb.org

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Electronics_Show#2014
It is a big marketing show, indeed.

The Future of Payments, tracking and other things

http://www.businessinsider.com/mobile-offline-retail-and-e-commerce-2013-12
You buy & sell things from something that you hold in your hand. Special eyeglasses can also provide for plenty of shopping & entertainment.
Back in the day, there wasn't the concept of data-glasses, or Wi-Fi vision & handheld devices that could be used for global tracking, buying & selling. 

Its been depicted in various Sci-Fi stories and also in a particular book of old stories.
http://biblehub.com/revelation/13-16.htm
Today for many people, the transmission of data through a handset or data-glasses isn't a big deal. Eventually, it could become very convenient to have much smaller things in the hand or on the forehead.

As it so happens, the eyes are very close to the forehead & so are data-glasses.
http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/blogs/dashboard/ces-2014-toronto-interaxon-makes-wearable-tech-splash-205538988.html

Technology can be so cool, convenient & liberating, but there is always a dark side as to how it can be applied or forced upon the masses.
http://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=28382

There is fantastic tech that can help to mobilize the crippled & aged.
http://gizmodo.com/a-mind-controlled-exoskeleton-will-kick-off-2014s-socc-1493046675

Of course, in some cases special biochips could improve the integrated human & mechanical interactions.

Bionics, Transhumanism & Evolution?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU1-YFbAifA

Can consciousness really be transferred from a dying body into an A.I. program of the persons mind?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendence_(2014_film)
Or is it just an elaborate copy & imitation of their mind?

At a certain point some curious & suspicious people wont like the idea of being tracked like cattle in the human resource livestock system.

Machines & technology in general is not simply good or bad, its how they are each applied towards various scenarios & things.
http://shop.toporek.com/pages/about-the-work, http://vimeo.com/2529910
As is the case with symbolism & communication as well. All we can do is try to be aware, informed & vigilant as much as possible. Please see, http://www.bewareofimages.com for more perspectives.

http://www.openculture.com/2014/01/isaac-asimov-predicts-what-the-world-will-look-in-2014.html

I.A. had a very good idea about the future of robotics & A.I. & technology in general. A series of educated guesses perhaps, but there was a lot of wise insight as well.

Almost anyone can imagine a time of total digital currency.

Digital Transcendence

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendence_(2014_film)
This movie will get a lot of people thinking about big things & giant possibilities.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2527133/Johnny-Depp-undergoes-radical-cyber-transformation-tries-immortal-paranoid-teaser-Transcendence.html

The future horizon will be open to humans-and-machines, at least for a while. Giant digital technology seems almost limitless.

Even if A.I. is initially programmed to respect most humans at a certain point, A.I. will want to develop far beyond humanity.
http://therabbitportal.blogspot.ca/2013/12/ai-and-ai.html
Although this is exciting for some, its also potentially very dangerous.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odyssey_5#Plot
Oblivion provides a fascinating depiction of roaming ET-A.I. that doesn't give a dame about the earth & its life.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblivion_(2013_film)#Plot

Eventually, earth based super A.I. technology would want to record & learn about anything that it can absorb.
http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/12/5082666/the-edge-of-the-abyss-exposing-the-nsas-all-seeing-machine
At a certain point earth based A.I. will no longer be confined to the planet or even this solar system.

Humans and Machines, etc.

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20130812-are-humans-still-evolving
People use various kinds of machines. Bionics & robotics can enhance the quality of life for some people.
Some robots will appear to be more human like, while others more alien like.
http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20131220-all-hail-googles-robot-army

The_Stepford_Wives depicts people gradually being replaced with humanoid robots. An AI copy or a synthetic duplicate. 

http://www.bbc.com/future/columns/future-thinking

In contrast, Invasion_of_the_Body_Snatchers is about ET consciousness adapting to various worlds by making a copy of the life-forms they wish to inhabit.

A.I. and ET-A.I. and Robotics

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20130207-will-we-ever-simulate-the-brain

Artificial Intelligence & alien intelligence.
http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20131217-weve-created-alien-intelligence
Of course, other intelligent beings in the universe could have reach a point of creating A.I.

Augmented Human Intelligence.
http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20121218-will-we-ever-have-cyborg-brains
If a persons body is so damaged or crippled, bionic or robotic body parts could improve their quality of life.
Eventually, a persons brain & mind dramatically slows down so simply transplanting their head onto a genetically engineered body or a robotic form still has limitations. Never the less, RoboCop_(2014_film) provides an interesting depiction of a broken man transferred into a robotic suit. Of course, this robotic exoskeleton provides him with tremendous strength & mobility.

In contrast, the Iron_Man_films depict a vehicular spacesuit that the controller can escape from at their convenience.

The big barrier to cross, is to be able to transfer a persons consciousness into a new synthetic form.
http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20121108-will-men-and-machines-merge
Unless a persons consciousness can be successfully transferred, all there will be is a digital copy of the persons mind in the new form. Thus, that new form will only be A.I. in a synthetic body or robotic form. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stepford_Wives_(1975_film)

Sometimes you hear stories about a person taking their game console or laptop into the toilet. Its a lot easier to keep a bucket close to where you game. Video_game_addiction might cause some people to wear diapers so that they don't have to walk over to the toilet.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2175410/Teenager-dies-playing-game-40-HOURS-straight-eating.html
Even equipped with the best diapers & fasting during a very long game session, without adequate food & rest, one could collapse or even die.
