"Digital kids" or, "Are there program children?"

on Friday, December, 03, 2004 11:50 PM
Ah, time for one of my favorite kinds of threads!

There's been some debate over this in my mind, (Are there program children?) and I'm quite curious what other people might think on this subject. There was another thread that touched on 'intimate relationships' between programs, and I find it highly unlikely that Mini-programs would pop out of the blue... But perhaps there is another way that 'kidtrons' might come about or exist. Like I said, I'm curious what other people might think on the subject.

During the packet transport level of Tron 2.0 you hear a loudspeaker talk about the submask subroutines that would rez in in case of sudden archive decompression. It says, "If you are carrying any subprograms with you, please install your own mask before assisting them." Sounds like subprograms are the digital equivalent of children.

Interestingly enough, I know someone who is a computer programmer and she says that a subprogram and a subroutine are pretty much the same things.

I've always seen children in the Electronic World as being an Alpha & Beta stages. That's how programs comeinto being. Alphas are basic programs that don't have all of the features built into them yet, and Betas are programs that have the features but still have to have the bugs worked out. I would think that Alphas are like babies, toddlers and grade-school kids, while Betas are adolescents. When a program reaches 1.00 it's shipped, the same that when people turn 21 they're "adults", even if in both cases some patches and bug-fixes are still necessary. where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Wait a second here is my two cents:


Flynn was zapped by the ENCOM laser into a "computer world" anthropomorphized as an automated robot program visually resembling an adult Homo sapien.

If a child were zapped by the ENCOM laser into a "computer world" it would still look like a child.

Bits and bytes are simply parts of programs just like atoms and molecules are parts of matter.

Atoms molecules = matter (Homo sapiens of the primate family Hominidae are physically made of this.)

Bits and bytes = (Parts of programs that are composed of this.)

Since the movie Tron was a Science Fiction feature Steven Lisberger resorted to author "artistic rights" to classify objects in a "computer world" to look like humans via anthropomorphizing them.

Theoretically, in real life, if a human would be zapped into "computer data" they would not be fully dressed with digital cloth's having boots and helmets I assure you.

Scientifically speaking, If Flynn was originally zapped with jeans and sneakers the same would apply to have his visual characteristics to remain the same having sneakers and jeans once transport was complete in the make believe "computer world".

Would it not?

Realistically and scientifically a computer does not have programs living, and breathing with each other.

For instance, I never understood why the "computer world" had "air".

Tron was breathing heavily once he killed off his foes in the deadly disc arena.

The Solar Sailor scene with Cindy Morgan had howls of "air" in the background to simulate motion.

Listen to that Solar Sailor scene you hear "wind" blowing in the back ground.

Its plain silly and nonsense.

But that is why the movie Tron is so entertaining and fun, we can pretend and have a good time seeing it.

Making sense of Sci Fi is such a drag, feel like watching Star Trek now.

I don't think I'd call Tron "sci-fi" to the point you're describing it. Sci-Fi is supposed to be based on scientific principals and theories. So in that regard I would class everything in the movies to be more "Fantasy", even Tron.

Star Trek, Star Wars, Alien, etc...

"you don't look like a thing like your pictures"

I don't know about you but many film critics and DVD / Video rental stores have Tron the movie listed under as "Science Fiction".

The last time I checked my laser disc box it stated the movie as being Science Fiction.

The movie had many scientific elements to it.

For instance, when Cindy Morgan's character could not get the Solar Sailor to the other beam Flynn went into a total "Star Trek - Spock" spiel.

Actually, Science Fiction is when the impossible things in the story are given a pseudo-scientific explanation.

*Shrugs* Just my opinion. I remember Arthur C. Clarke once saying it and I tended to agree. I remember thinking that Babylon 5 was more on track with science fiction because their ships had to face the opposite way and put on thrusters in order to stop.where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online
