Went to watch I, Robot with Sharon this afternoon. Pretty short film (just under 2 hours) but terribly good. I love the idea of robots having not just silicon chips and programming, but that their random programming codes may bunch together to create stuff formerly not put into them--like grouping together as if they needed company...like a soul.

The film reminded me of this Batman: TAS episode I watched--A Silicon Soul; as well as the cartoon series: The Zeta Project.

Both dealt with robots finding someone akin to what humans will call a soul--they have feelings, have a conscience...have emotions and habits and quirks that any human beings will have.
And I think: why not? I mean, scientists currently say that the only two elements that can form any sort of life-forms are carbon-based (which is everything and anything that has a life in this world, or at least, this earth) or silicon-based. However, silicon-based life-forms will be bulky and clumsy because of the way the silicon atoms build on one another. But that's besides the point.

So, if silicon is used to make chips that hold programs to robots or whatever else (computers included), doesn't it stand to reason that there's a chance that things we think can't hold a soul, can?

But even if silicon isn't used to make programs, and isn't the only other potentially life-forming element, there's always the possibility that anything can gain sentience. There's nothing to say for it, and nothing against it. So I'll leave the possibility open.

Took my mobile for repairs and software upgrades. The damned guy told me that all my stuff (ringtones and wallpapers and GPRS connection) will be wiped out. :( Came home with a low mood cuz of that. Heh. I'm getting too dependent on my mobile. Eugh.

Anyways, went to rent The Sixth Sense and X-Men: 2 VCDs. Came home, watched the first flick, and damned am I totally in love with Haley Joel Osment. :P He's such a cute kid...mature, yet having a cute little voice. Lol. I'm totally swooning. :P Can't believe my dad actually closed his eyes at some parts, not daring to see the ghosts. :P Made me laugh like hell.

Bored. Don't feel like doing work. Will take a time-out for today.
