Review

In the film can be seen the interaction between technology and humans, where humans and robots live together helping each other. But of course the advantages of robots that can assist humans will cause a lot of people are irreplaceable work that unemployment will increase.

In addition, because the robots were man-made, then the error in the robot could occur, such as V.I.K.I which is the primary control of all the robots in the movie I Robot which takes control of all the robots to restrain the people. Then the robot is also not fully able to think like humans, for example when Spooner and a girl trapped in a car in the ocean, his robot come and choose save Spooner, whereas girls have a chance to survive bigger, and Spooner was told his robot to the rescue girl. It's all because the robot is programmed to prioritize the safety of their owners.

So "Human Computer Interaction" is important, because the technology and computers are made by humans and can‘t work without humans. Humans are not perfect as well as their technological creations. Because human imperfection must be careful with the technology they create.
