Did They Create a "Monster"???

When I was a child, computers in film or TV were practically associated with science fiction or fantasy! They weren't in daily use--not by ordinary people! But we were beginning to have an awareness of them. A question asked was, "Could computers one day 'take over' and override human commands?" Well, am not sure it has quite happened [although automatic processes sometimes get out of control]. But the police project has been compared to a monster or beast, at times--like the "King Kong" gorillas, etc. *** A story told from TV sources on the west coast of Canada was that a young [Irish] boy had an idea for parties to compete in the police project!? This story might have been from the 1980s?--Don't recall exactly. And I've spent time all but begging the parties to work together, rather than competing any longer! [Have given up trying--have just been trying to pull things together, as far as possible.] But some competition has been quite deep-rooted. *** Now, I wonder which Irish boy was involved??? Was it the one we know of, or one from the far distant past? If it was the current one, I think he should consider the effects of his youthful idea!!!??? [And he shouldn't blame others for following his idea!] And he and his associates certainly don't need to blame me for the activities of all the parties from the past 40 years or so! *** If there hadn't been competition in the 1970s and 80s, it's possible things wouldn't have gotten to the point where we are now.--I mean maybe nobody would have accomplished enough, in the long run? [And although there's still conflict--so far--am hoping we'll get past it. Something needs to be settled soon.--Or we can continue hashing things out--as long as it takes.]
