Last night I watched 2057 – The City. See yesterday’s post on The World for more on the series.
The theme for this production could be titled "A Boy and His Holo-Pet" or possibly "Boy Crashes City ‘Net." Without giving away too much detail, I’ll say that this production was as good overall as The World. Covered here: holographic pets, self-guided networked cars, smart homes, robotics, police force technologies, intelligent surveillance, and holographic data storage.
Michio Kaku makes one very pertinent statement: "As we become more dependent on technology, just remember …computers can crash, technology can fail."
I highly recommend that you add this one to your list to watch.
In a future blog note I’ll review the other program in the series: The Body.
