It was not until the success of Star Wars in 1977 that they felt more open to doing a space movie like Alien.

My breath catches in my throat and tears run down my cheeks. I can barely breath with all the smoke surrounding me. Last time I felt like this was when I sold my soul to the devil himself.

In the 1999 cult science fiction movie, The Matrix, humans live their lives in a computer-generated world they believe to be real. Their real physical bodies lay submerged unconscious within a capsule filled with nutrient rich fluid while their nervous systems are plugged into a complex AI computer simulation called The Matrix. The simulation feeds their nervous systems with all that is needed for them to believe they are in the real world, living real lives. The premise of the plot is realistic as we indeed create our reality based on stimuli interpreted by our nervous system¹.

Each consecutive generation gets to experience the newest advances in technology. In the 1950s it was the television which began to be affordable for the average family. In the 1990s cell phones were beginning to be made accessible to the general public. Now in the 21st century, the iPod, iPhone, iPad, Smart Phone and texting are all available in full force. Technological advances seem as if they are only increasing at a more rapid pace every successive year. With all the upgrades and changes in the ever-present technological movement, there is cause for concern, even while celebrating the march of progress. Society has always been optimistic, excited, thrilled even, to experience the next big advance, which will make life so much easier. Though there have been great discoveries made through technology, there are always subtle repercussions that may be found to be fatal further down the road. Technology has transported us into the Age of Information, but ironically it seems as if technology yields the power to generate a lazier, divisive, impersonal, and more impatient society.

In this millennium, technology has grown and evolved at such a fast and rising pace. Now we have cars powered by electricity, digital intelligence that automates the process and speed of working on applications such as Spotify and even YouTube. Companies and individuals that are behind the wheel are at a loss due to the rapid growth of technology. At this point in the technology age ruled by the emergence of Artificial intelligence, let's look and identify the most important trends that have shaped this interesting 2020.
