Do you think the concept of the movie Eagle Eye can happen in real life?

This movie was an amazingly logical movie. With the right technological platform, I personally believe it could happen in the future. But to the people who say a system like that could already exist, I usually disagree because not that many things around cities are really "online" or connected to one another.





For those who haven't seen it, basically, it’s about a very advanced computer system that helps government operations, but the system gets too smart and “calculates” that the senate and president are not good enough to lead this country and “calculates” that they need to be eliminated. So it stops listening to human operators and starts chaos on its own.





Because the system has access to wireless phone networks and GPS and stuff, it’s really powerful. Every public camera, electronic sign, and traffic light is connected to it somehow.





What do you think? Could it happen?|||i think its already happening|||I think it could happen, in the future maybe not now. everything is not that advanced yet but i don't think it would take too long for technology to get to that point.|||I took a class in college that was taught by an ex-special forces operative. Long story short, when he was still active there was a system called "Condor" that was developed to track the electronic media in California, including cell phones, internet searches, phone calls, etc... which was designed to scan everything for key words like bomb, terrorist, etc... Well this was around the same time as the Patriot Act was passed so the invasion of privacy was not an issue. So the government turned on and tested this "Condor" information gathering program for a short time in CA and were able to successfully monitor 99% of all electionic media at one time; being able to hear and see everything that we do. Now this was several years ago, and technology has advanced extremely far since then so just imagine the probabilities now. So the monitoring of everything is 100% true, but the implimentation of changing street signs, and scrolling marquees i think is unprobable. But i wouldnt put it passed the government to do whatever they was in the name of "National Security." But no matter what, someone is always watching and listening whether we know it or not.


Thats my 2 cents anyways
