I mean, the papers and news websites are all full of paranoia about Google buying up robotics companies. They're busy trying to spread that tired old scifi meme about robots and AIs taking over the world and rendering us humans and our weird biologically-based notions of love irrelevant. To me, this represents more of a poverty of imagination and creativity than a threat. If the only thing many people can imagine about technology is that someday it's going to try to kill them and take over the world, maybe the world would be better off without them. Having seen only the trailer for this film, given a choice between spending my time with people who think like this vs. people like Theodore and Amy and...yes...Samantha, I'm going to go for the "path with heart" every time. http://www.salon.com/2013/12/17/her_an_unforgettable_man_machine_love_affair/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne6p6MfLBxc
