James Cameron blank checks and record-breaking budgets and payouts.
Arnold
Getting re-jacked to your original shape at 56 years old. Screening your movie at Saddam’s palace.
Terminators
The broadness of the term “nanotechnology.” Upgrading your liquid-metal nanotechss32 robots.
Data Collection
Placing this movie in the data collection timeline: after the dawn of big data digital government spying, but before smartphones when we willingly began to give up all the data. But there’s a Terminator movie for that too!
Hacking cars
Direct linkages in car systems. Driving by-wire. Hacking automobile computer systems. Wired hacking and modern wireless car hacks.
Technology progression
Finally, a Terminator in the age of the ubiquitous cell phone! Still not smartphones yet, but it’s a start! Hydrogen fuel cell failure modes and the danger of tiny hydrogen bombs. MRI dangers.
Skynet
AI escape scenarios. Supercomputing at “60 teraFLOPS” and wth is a “teraFLOPS” anyway? Computing power measurement and FLOP precisions. Recognizing the actual utility of supercomputers only becoms apparent with very paralellizable tasks.
