X109B14 modified transistorized totally automated machine

In summary, the conversation discusses the relevance of The Twilight Zone episode "The Brain Center at Whipple's" which was originally shown in 1967 but is still applicable 47 years later. The conversation also mentions the theme of automation and its potential dangers to humanity, citing other works that explore this concept.

Sounds relevant to me. But that's progress. :wink:

Can't really watch this at the moment (at work), but if the theme is the obsolescence of man or even danger to man caused by automation, there are many earlier works that explore this very well. Two early examples that spring to mind: Karel Capek's 1920 play "R.U.R." (Rossum's Universal Robots) that coined the term robot, and Fritz Lang's 1927 German silent film masterpiece "Metropolis".
