James Cameron blank checks and record-breaking budgets and payouts.

\n\n Arnold \n\n

Getting re-jacked to your original shape at 56 years old. Screening your movie at Saddam\u2019s palace.

\n\n Terminators \n\n

The broadness of the term \u201cnanotechnology.\u201d Upgrading your liquid-metal nanotechss32 robots.

\n\n Data Collection \n\n

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\u2019s a Terminator movie for that too!

\n\n Hacking cars \n\n

Direct linkages in car systems. Driving by-wire. Hacking automobile computer systems. Wired hacking and modern wireless car hacks.

\n\n Technology progression \n\n

Finally, a Terminator in the age of the ubiquitous cell phone! Still not smartphones yet, but it\u2019s a start! Hydrogen fuel cell failure modes and the danger of tiny hydrogen bombs. MRI dangers.

\n\n Skynet \n\n

AI escape scenarios. Supercomputing at \u201c60 teraFLOPS\u201d and wth is a \u201cteraFLOPS\u201d anyway? Computing power\xa0 measurement and FLOP precisions. Recognizing the actual utility of supercomputers only becoms apparent with very paralellizable tasks.
