FAIL SAFE

I am reminded of the film (and book) "FAIL SAFE"...early on in the film, the head of the electronics firm, responsible for the gadgets in the war room, says: the machines are too fast , the human element is gone, but there is a new kind of problem, the machines can't be monitored by the men.


anyone who hasn't seen this film should really watch it (my words are a paraphrase, not a quote).

and the same thing with the advanced automation planes.

we have reached a turning point in the man / machine interface...and we are losing!
