There's not much I can say about this. This is an episode from the 1978 BBC series "Connections", starring James Burke, and deals with our perception of the world and a look at the future that, for being made in 1978, seems just as valid today, if not moreso. Please view this program -- I think it'll give you something to think about. It'll take less than an hour.

Also think about how you make descisions that can affect yourself and everyone around you when based more on emotion than fact.
