DeNardo, John . "Demystifying Sci-Fi Terms, Part
2." 21 March 2012: . LexisNexis
Academic. Web. 3 November 2012.
This article is to help people understand science fiction
movies, by giving definitions to important science fiction terms. In the article the writer jokingly admits to
science fiction being confusing. HAL
9000 is mentioned in this article with a term called AI which stands for
Artificial Intelligence. Artificial
Intelligence is a computer of robot whose processing ability is capable, swift
and complex enough to copy the intelligence of human beings.
The topic and importance of this resource is Artificial
Intelligence is something involved in both Prometheus
and 2001 A Space Odyssey. David and HAL 9000 are both Artificial
Intelligences but portrayed in different ways.
HAL 9000 is just a voice throughout the film. On the other hand David has a body.
This appears to be a very interesting and helpful source. I think it's important to define "sci-fi" terms, based on your topic, because your audience may not be immersed in the world of science fiction. It looks like you have a really good start to your research paper (based on your blog posts). Good work, and keep it up!
