1.) -The Pre-cogs were used to help prevent crime in the movie. So better said to the lower crime rate. There were three pre-cogs two boys who are twins and one girl that was the most powerful one. Without her the twins cant work. They were born like that because their parents were Neroin addicts before they were born. So the Neroin gave them that gift to see into the future.
   - The Pre-cogs were put in a pool where they cant move or talk nor leave. They have halo on their head that shows the police what their seeing. They have all white wet suit looking thing on, and someone had to be taking care of them 24/7.
    -Being in a pool where you cant do anything for yourself is not ethical. They cant live their lives like a normal person. They cant even move from there. They are strapped in and have no word into what going on and if they want to be a pre-cog or not. They are drugged up and forced to be there. The police are basically scarifying three lives to save many more. 90% of the crime rate went down after pre-cogs took place.
     -Humans can be like Agatha, Daschell, and Arthur but they would have rough life. If people find out about their gift then they would exploited like pre-crime exploited them. The only way that they can live a peaceful life is if they live in the middle of no where. Where no one is around but only them. When people are around they start to see their future, so if someone new that, then they would use them to their advantage.
2.)- Infallible police state is where nothing can go wrong. Infallible means absolutely trustworthy or sure, and police state is a state that is run by the police. So this means that Pro-crime has to be perfect. That there won't be any mistakes. If there is any mistakes that means its not infallible. In the movie its not infallible because there was a mistake in the pre-cogs. A lady was saved by Pre-crime but someone repeated the murder the Pre-cogs saw right after the arrest. So the lady did end up dying. Just because the Pre-cogs see something doesn't mean its 100% true. "You can choose your own future." Is what Agatha told John before he killed the man.
   -I think that this should be apart if our society because the crime rate will drop. But then again it could be a problem. Maybe the Pre-cogs are wrong and you put a innocent person in jail. Also no one gets their own privacy. Someone will always be watching. I say if its 100% perfect then it was good to have it. The bad thing about it is that we have to sacrifice three people freedom for that others can be safe. So three people for every state, maybe even more if the pre-cogs can only see up to a certain amount of distance.
-If the pre-crime existed now, we could have prevented so many things. For example the Zimmerman case. We could have prevented him from shooting Trayvon Martin. We also could have seen the truth of what actually happened. If he was threaten or if he just shot him for no reason. They were the only two there so only they know the real truth. Pre-crime will explain everything.
3.)-My favorite scene was when John was running away from the police because I got to really see the equipment the police used. For example the sick stick was cool and nasty at the same time. Instead of hitting someone with a night stick they make them throw up and this make them stop instantly. Also the cars and how they drive themselves was so cool.
-I can see cars driving themselves come to our future because they have cars that can park themselves now. I took a class about autonomous vehicles. Cars are going to be able to drive themselves and is proven to be safer than a human driving. Every car would have a chip in it that would connect with other cars. So they would be able to detect accidents from miles aways and would be able to prevent sudden accidents. The movie did a good job on showing how cars would drive themselves. The thing that wasn't true was driving in a vertical direction. The sick stick I think wont be in our future. Unless its used for life medical purposes of some type.
-In my opinion the sick stick should exist because what if somebodies is choking, the sick stick would make them throw it up. The cars driving themselves are already going to exist. Just not the vertical driving. That shouldn't exist because if something goes wrong then hundreds of people can get hurt.
