all watched over by machines of loving grace - Adam Curtis
Has anyone watched this? I'd like your opinions.
It is a BBC movie in three parts by Adam Curtis ("the trap") and it is a wild collage of archive images mixed with a narrative about out society (as always with Adam Curtis). this time he deals with how machines, specifically computers, took over our lives. I found it in parts interesting, very true and agreeable, but in other parts also quite disturning, especially in part 2 of the series. Here is a link YouTube - ‪Adam Curtis - All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace - Ep 1/3 - Love and Power (23/5/11) (2/5)‬‏ (follow youtube from that or pick a different choice of source) - and this is part 2: YouTube - ‪All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace (Ep. 2) - Full‬‏ I'll not spoiler it, but I'd like to discuss the contents if some have seen it...
