I watched this movie earlier tonight, kind of weird, It seems to take place about 25 yrs in the future, and they come out with an operating system that is pretty close to artificial intelligence, some of it seems pretty cool, like just asking it about new emails, no need for typing anymore either, the OS just takes everything from you speaking. The main character ends up falling in love with his computer/phone/ OS though, and I thought it was pretty realistic as an indicator to how society would interact with such technology, in the movie, it is clear many people are in relationships with their operating systems!

I did like the video game system he has though, actually something like that should already be out right now, oh yea, and it seem men in this time start wearing their pants up near their chests again, like back in the 1950s! LOL that was very funny!

Anyone see this movie, Im curious what others think about this…imo, it sort of implied that eventually people will be in their own little worlds all the time, and just communicate with their cell phone or computer devices, we are getting close to this now, just look around and see how many people have phone in hand, looking down when out in public! lol once cell phone technology makes the next leap forward, this will only get worse too.
 
Yes, that’s one reason I’ve avoided getting a smartphone.

I haven’t seen Her but it reminds me of S1mOne, with Al Pacino. About a man who invents a computerized woman who becomes all the rage and everyone thinks is real, and he gets arrested for her murder and has to prove she never existed.

I’m sure we have fascinating things in store in the future.(sarcasm off/) I can hardly wait.
I like writing about the future but wouldn’t want to live there,
Wait, I already am.
 
I saw the movie. It is an interesting sci-fi plot. I don’t expect such things to happen any time soon, if ever. As you observed, some people do seem to be fixated to an unhealthy degree on their phone devices and favorite apps. I think it has the potential to stunt or distort social development in young people, not to mention the distraction leading to poor attention span for school or work:

IDK, Id say that technology is not that far off, we already have something similar in Sirree (spelling?) it is basically like a google app that talks to you…example, sirree, go find email from john smith, sirree retrieves it…so give computer technology another 15-20 years, Yeah, I could definitely see that kind of OS being realized.
 
I haven’t watched it but I’m hoping for a view in the near future. Great theatrical poster, though.
 
I like Joaquin Phoenix and the trailer intrigued me, but I didn’t really know what it was about. Does anyone recommend the movie? Is it entertaining?

One guy I know at work just got an iPhone and started asking Siri questions. The questions started out innocently like questions on how to get to the nearest restaurant or the weather forecast. Finally he told Siri “I love you.” to see the response.

Siri’s response?

“That’s nice. Now get back to work.”

Yea, the technology is not quite there yet, but give it another 10-15 years and Id say we will be.
