That's BRILLIANT! I love it! Could just program some "test motivations" into Charlie and then see what would happen. Genius on the "public domain"! I only thought as far ahead as simple inter/intranets - er... "cybernets". Now the "PD" is truly exponential and purposeful. Love it!
LAWNMOWER MAN is like "Flowers from Algernon", which would also be fun to see again.

Out of all the Star Trek movies the one I believe had the best overall most fascinating plot was the first one. Here this tiny most inadequate computer is sent on a mission to collect data. After hundreds of years in space it comes across a totally mechanized planet who sees this Voyager as a little inept at fulfilling its programming and builds a planet sized world to do the job right. All the while working under the programming of the Voyager.
With our posts I see that the movie left us at a point where after the couple morphs with Voyager it lets us do the imagination of what happens afterwards. Haven't done much thinking on it yet but the first thing I would say it that "it" becomes aware.
