[Traci Belanger]

Let's not forget Spielberg's A. I., Zero Therom (if you've never seen 
it, you should)  and most recently Ex Machina...

       Dear colleagues

I am teaching a course on media, culture and society, and am 
introducing a new assessment piece - a movie review. 
I am going to give students a selection of movies to choose from that 
have as a key element the role of communications technologies 
(including social media) on social change, social relations and 
identify. 

I have already identified the following:

* Her - on operating systems and the self

* The Truman Show - on reality tv and public/private nexus

* The Enemy of the State - on surveillance technologies

* You've got mail (maybe) - on email and relationships

* Good morning Vietnam (maybe) - on radio and community building

I welcome any other suggestions and commendations. They can be old 
technologies, current or predicted new ones (ie sci fi).
