WALL-E is a somewhat human-ish "AI" robot. His
job was to collect and compact trash - which
he did on Earth for about 700 years since humans
evacuated the planet - had become unsustainable.
Given so much time alone, WALL-E developed a
lot of idiosyncratic behavior, became a bit more
"human-ish" than intended.
Humans went into at least one gigantic utopian
space-ship WAY out there somewhere and had
pretty much forgotten Earth.
Another survey bot - EVE-A - comes down and
finds a trace of new plant life. Major thing.
Plot complications.
Fun story.
But the most pertinent thing ... early last
year there was a small town (Kentucky?) where
there was a landslide and access was cut off.
The residents were in a panic. Some news org
went there to record the big town hall meeting
about it. Of major note ... pretty much EVERYONE
there - men, women, children - looked exactly
like the humans on the abovementioned space ship -
350+ pounds, could barely walk, could likely
be literally rolled down hills. Probably 7000+
cal all-carb junk food diets .......
No wonder they were in a panic - the very thought
of the chips and cheeze-puffs and sugar-o cereal
and such being cut off !!! :-)
