The 1970s was about the era when microcomputers gradually began to rise, so if you look at the science fiction at that time from the current perspective, you will find very strange phenomena: backward material science technology, primitive and complex human-computer interface, poor graphics, The seemingly semi-mechanical character of various tube computers—all mixed together with the ability to travel at the speed of light, and an artificial intelligence that understands phenomenological logic. This may be the wish that humanity has had since the very beginning of cosmology and computer science. As early as when the first prototypes of computer theory were born, Byron's daughter, Countess Ida Lovelace, proposed the prototype of artificial intelligence. Then Turing perfected and constrained the definition of artificial intelligence, resulting in the Turing test, the Turing machine, and today's Turing Award. Decades - a century - two centuries have passed, our computers are well into the transistor age, Moore's Law is likely to fail in the foreseeable future, and people are holding more intelligence in their hands than Captain Cook's. And a powerful communication tool. Graphics, human-computer interaction, cloud computing, and parallel computing are affecting everything in the human world every day. However, artificial intelligence since the birth of sci-fi movies, even if it looks very intelligent but logically useless to completely speechless artificial intelligence, such as the HAL9000 in 2001 Space Odyssey, such as the bomb in Dark Star, can only be roughly used by siri imitation. And everything that involves intelligence just seems more and more futile. So people began to turn to the lower level of system theory, cybernetics. The era of science fiction in the big universe seems to be gone forever, and human beings seem to become pragmatic.
The result reflected in the movie is that the special effects of the Magellanic Clouds today may be more realistic than those captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, and the highly intelligent computers that speak at any time throughout the spacecraft are no longer common. So it is strange that we live in such a soft sci-fi era: the beautiful interstellar travel, the elaborate alien creatures and spacecraft, the compact storyline, it seems so sci-fi so futuristic; and That intelligence, that universe, looks so realistic and modern.
So I will be grateful for the long shots and bad star special effects of sci-fi in the 1970s. They are dull, boring, and boring, but they seem to reveal the true nature of the more real universe, the vastness, horror, mystery, and danger of the universe. And the romantic ideals that people in that era had for computer technology were so lovely.
The first time the cute bomber made people amused, he said a famous Descartes quote: I think, therefore I am. And the bomber finally said: In the beginning there was darkness, and the darkness was without form and void. Yes, the bomber, you started from void main() and ended with return light; I wish you a good journey. There are also punks in space, who are self-deprecating and free and easy, which is probably the driving force behind human beings entering deep space and flying to the stars. Wish you guys good luck!
