Echelon Conspiracy: Human Intelligence Outwitted The Supercomputer

Although it is not a kind of movie that winning the audience with fanciful, creative ideas; and its plots not as attractive as it should be. A supercomputer of NSA, US. came to awareness and tried to upgrade itself aiming at taking control of all electronic devices, such as computers, CCTV, satellites, and even slot machines.

It would have really been horrible if such an attempt had been eventually fulfilled. This would have surely been human rights disaster, all human actions that taking place on this planet would have been spied, there would no such a thing as privacy.

Echelon, the supercomputer ended up shutting down its self because of controlling the electronic world and spying on individuals violated the law and contradicted with the purposes it had been set for: to protect the freedom and democracy of American citizens.

This is a happy ending just like most of the movies with same or similar subject. Not like other movies that the evil is conquered by the heroes either resorting to armed force or using human intellectual achievements, but by its own logic process with the hint of the hero that its functioning was against the law of US, namely, the supercomputer killed itself. The human intelligence finally outwitted the supercomputer.

The point is that since the computer could have told the right from wrong, then how those wrong doings had happened?
