Description
  Pretty much every aspect of our daily lives involves a computer and it’s hard in this modern age to imagine our lives without them.

On today’s episode we’re going to find out why, so join us as we boot up some bad computers.     LINKS TO SOME OF THE FILMS WE TALK ABOUTGog (free on Youtube)  Invisible Boy (free on Archive) 2001: A Space Odyssey ($3.99 on Amazon) Demon Seed (free on Videa) Electric Dreams (free on Youtube) Eagle Eye ($3.99 on Amazon) Moon ($3.99 on Amazon) Her ($2.99 on Amazon)
