How many movies about machines having feelings do we have lately? I mean, I know of Wall-e, and then there's the bicentennial man... but lately? I haven't heard of new movies in a long time now.
There's one coming out now, for one thing. Forgot what it's name is, but it's made by the same guys who made district 9, so you pretty much know what to expect from it.
Well, I'll try to find what movie you're talkin about. If people actually do start believing machines have feelings, maybe they'll treat them more nicely, so this might actually be a good thing, like when kids treat their toys better after having watched toy story vol.1 to 3
