Emily Mattson Blog Posting #2

One of the coolest scenes from Minority Report is when John Anderton uses the screen to see the murder the pre-cogs have predicted. He used the screen to pick up clues about the murder that may have taken weeks to before, and now he can see them with the flick of a wrist. This technology, I believe, could eventually show up in society, but not for at least another five or six decades. 

The halos are also fascinating to me. Once they're on a "criminal", they induce the "criminal" into a deep sleep that seems almost hellish. It's slightly reminiscent of a stun gun in modern times, except it seems ten times worse, even without physical pain. I don't know if ethics committees will ever allow the halos to be used on people, but maybe someday when ethics are overthrown they'll be used left and right. Unlike the pre-cogs, I can't see what's going to happen.
