One big sound bite.

This presentation was just a lot of half-formed, repetitive sound bites. The information is dated, the concept is dated, and frankly, we have seen it all before in the movies. There was nothing concrete or usable. When it got boring, they would throw in a celebrity or two, such as Colin Powell or William Shatner, to spice it up a tad. I know this presentation is really an attempted biography, but it still falls short of its purpose. It went from the possibility of improving man to the machine, then eventually building the ultimate man/machine as in the film “Over S-e-x-e-d Rugsuckers from Mars” (1989). I did like looking at the old-time computers and bygone personalities. William Shatner makes a comeback in “Shatner in Space” (2021).
