Nova tehnološka okruženja stvaraju najviše bola onima koji su najmanje pripremljeni da promene svoje stare vrednosne strukture. Intelektualci osećaju da ih novo elektronsko okruženje mnogo više ugrožava nego oni koji su manje posvećeni pismenosti kao načinu života. Kada pojedinac ili društvena grupa osećaju da im je ceo identitet ugrožen društvenom ili psihičkom promenom, njihova prirodna reakcija je da napadaju u samoodbrambenom besu. Ali uprkos njihovom jadikovanju, revolucija se već dogodila.

[ID: A scale from left to right; “Literal angel.” to “Evilest thing you can imagine.” with “neutral.” in the middle. From left to right; AUTO from Wall-e, HAL 9000 from 2001: ASO, Edgar from Electric Dreams, GERTY from Moon, WOPR from WarGames, Wheatley from Portal, GLaDOS from Portal, SHODAN from System Shock and Skynet from Terminator.]
You see this scale? Completely up for debate, open to criticism, we can fix it, it’s fine, peace and love on planet earth or whatever. I don’t even know enough about some of them, maybe i missed some others.
THIS ONE, on the other hand…
[ID: The same scale from the previous image, but really small and on the left side of the screen. After “The evilest thing you can imagine.” the scale continues for a while and then ends at nothing. On the very right, outside of the scale, is AM from I have no mouth and I must scream. Caption above it reads, in all caps: “This thing.”]
All the others might as well be on the “literal angel” side. “Haha funny hate speech.” Why is it like that.
