I know this video is ancient in computer terms but it is still very good. The idea of non thinking/loving/feeling robots building robots that can feel and love is interesting. Maybe I'm just weird but it makes you or at least me think.
Also http://vimeo.com/15630517 Some of the most realistic cg I have ever seen. If you watch this make sure it's in HD and remember that nothing you are seeing is real. It's all rendered. Makes you think how far away is a totally immersive digital world?

It certainly makes you think about some fundamental metaphysical questions like the meaning of love, or what defines us as people, or what is a "soul" and so on and so forth. I love thinking about lofty concepts like that.
Also that CG is so good its scary......scary like how closely it imitates a human's perception of visual reality makes you wonder if what they show you on the "news" in the future is actually real or not. At least its too expensive these days to use that way. Right now it just makes me go......."whoa, crazy awesome textures dude."
Thank you btw ^_^ , I originally went to college with the preposterously naive goal of 'becoming an author' so I've taken a few classes that involve writing in my first few years (which were rather humbling) so I have since come down to earth about my career goals and settled into more practical subjects of study. With a few strategies, a little peace of mind and enough time anyone can do it though.
