Carr, Nicholas. "Is Google Making Us Stupid? What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains."
I'm haunted by that scene in
2001
. What makes it so poignant, and
so weird, is the computer's emotional
response to the disassembly of its
mind: its despair as one circuit after
another goes dark, its childlike
pleading with the astronaut—"I can
feel it. I can feel it. I'm afraid"—and
its final reversion to what can only be
called a state of innocence. HAL's
outpouring of feeling contrasts with
the emotionlessness that characterizes
the human figures in the film, who go
about their business with an almost
robotic efficiency. Their thoughts and
actions feel scripted, as if they're
following the steps of an algorithm.
In the world of
2001
, people have
become so machinelike that the most
human character turns out to be a
machine. That's the essence of
Kubrick's dark prophecy: as we come
to rely on computers to mediate our
understanding of the world, it is our
own intelligence that flattens into
artificial intelligence.

Buckminster boy. she glared at him. "lizzie, i swear to you, as sure as i'm standing right here—that's a lie. every bit of it. every single bit." "my granddaddy said it was a lie, too." she leaned her head to one side and looked at him steadily. "so why haven't you been down to the island? " "so only you get to ask questions now? " "yes." she waited. "i haven't been down to the island because my father believes that you were using me to you stay on malaga island." "well," she said slowly. "well." "i didn't believe it, either." the sea breeze lay at their feet panting, hoping they would play with it again. based on what turner and lizzie say, which is the best conclusion that can be drawn? they are angered by the lies the adults have been spreading. neither of them is able to fully trust what the other is claiming. each trusts the other and cares a great deal about their friendship. both are worried about the troubles their friendship may bring.
