Philip K Dick made many short stories and he use science fiction to tell his stories. One of his short stories was called The Minority Report. Philip used science fiction as an outlet to break unfamiliar grounds. His work was based on experiments and questions on your own existence. His own emotional and psychological state plays a very important part in the tone of his work throughout the years. Philip used science fiction in his movie Minority Report. He gave the idea of how to stop crime before it happened called pre-crime. This is idea was something that would happen in the future where technology is more advanced. Well the thought of something like stoping crime being so advanced would be better for cities like Chicago because basically people die everyday and with this new system every person that lost love ones would have them back. This would effect us in a very positive way. Probably if that happened then the government would probably allow the purge every year.


The technology of how the cars were driving on the highway and how they were able to kind of switch how the car drove. In our society theres lots of crashes because people have more control over their cars. But in the new technology that would be brought from Minority Report the car would have more control over the road which would have a positive effect on us because crashes would only happen if there was a technical difficulty. Another thing that would be very helpful for the government is the eye scanner. That would be a positive and negative effect because people would want to know how to remove their eyes so they would be able to get away with illegal stuff without being busted. Many people would be embarrass because lots of people go on website that are inappropriate for kids that is under the age of eighteen. Some people have low self-esteem and basically all their personal information would be shown once they stepped foot in a store. On the plus side the government will be able to stop illegal immigration and probably would bring down the crime rate because theirs no way to escape with all these cameras scanning your eyes. I don't think this could ever happen in the future mainly because all this was possible because three human being were able to tell the future. Without that this will never happen.

If we had something like pre-crime it all depends on how the operation is operated to get my support. In the movie people was hold captive just so the crime rates could go down. If they volunteered then it would be a different story, but that wasn't the situation. I would support an idea like this only if its only using pre-crime without the extra things like the eye scanner and the halo's. This really would be a good idea for the future because a lot of people has been living with hurting memories in their head and some people are missing love ones right now. With this new technology crime will go down and it would help the world dramatically. When the United States has a war with a different country pre-crime will allow them to be able to know when they are planning attack against them. So yes it would be very important our economy right now. Pre- crime could be a future thing it would just have to change a couple things in the way they operate.
