I think A.I. makes a lot of good connections to what we are talking about. The most strinking connection for me was with the lover robots like Joe. One of Turkle's main points is that we are beginning to replace human relationships with robotic ones. While we currently do this with things like My Real Baby and AIBO Turkle warns that we might end up with people have relationships with robots like Joe. David is also like an advanced version of a My Real Baby. I think the movie does a god job of making us think about what Turkle is trying to make us think about: Should we allow ourselves to replace humans and human relationships with robots?
