Blog 3: Just A Rather Very Intelligent System

In Marvel’s Iron Man trilogy and the Avengers movie, much of the focus  is around Tony Stark and his legendary Iron Man suit which we all know and love. Though another piece of really cool technology in the movie, which is more software than hardware, that many have grown a liking to is JARVIS. JARVIS, Just A Rather Very Intelligent System is an artificial intelligence system that runs all of Stark’s computers, home, surrounding environment, and even his iron suits. Being a very advanced system Stark can communicate to JARVIS flawlessly and can even carry a 2 way conversation with him. He even uses sarcasm sometimes when Stark comes up with a very outrageous idea. In our current society, nearly all of us have our own personal form of a JARVIS, just not remotely near as advanced as him. Many of us use Siri, or other speak command functions. The way Stark uses JARVIS to do things is just like how we use those built in features to call someone or change the radio in your car, or if your fortunate enough even your home. JARVIS is also like a personal assistant for Tony. He can place calls, alter his calendar, send emails, do almost everything a real assistant could do. If JARVIS took over one of the suits he could in theory go around and preform daily tasks that require physical interaction. So not only do I believe that this is a similarity to our current contemporary lifestyle, but also a direction that it is headed in. At the rate technology is advancing today I would not be surprised if sometime in the near future we each had our own personal JARVIS.
