The T-800 Terminator Was Programmed In 1984

TheTerminatorGb310311The Terminator searched for Sarah Connor’s address in a phonebook. Somehow he didn’t have a photo of her nor knew what she looked like. A mistake like this would not pass today, but did this bother anyone in 1984? I don’t think it did. Photos weren’t very important then – we took a few of them, they wore out, and we threw them away. We felt fine relying on personal memory or stories to recall information, so we comfortable forgetting things and letting them die. As I was watching The Terminator tonight, I remembered thinking this way too, and how long it’s been since I thought that way.

Technological innovation has allowed us to resist human forgetfulness and death. We take millions of photos, keep our files forever, and we seem convinced that immortality is not only possible, but that it’s a moral imperative. Cameron imagined a future where even robots let memories die, which is a window into seeing how people thought in 1984. Show this film to your children and grandchildren.

well if I remember correctly a lot of the records were destroyed during 'judgement day'.... but yes, you're right, the thought of an all powerful computer not keeping track of every piece of digitized data doesn't make a lot of sense nowadays.... but I guess to put another wrinkle in it... "Judgement Day" was originally supposed to be August 29, 1997... so we should put ourselves in a pre-digital camera mindset... when evaluating the 1984 situation. :-P
