"What We Have Here is Failure to Communicate"
A classic line from the movie Cool Hand Luke, delivered by Strother Martin as the warden of the prison camp Paul Newman is sent to. How apropos to the world of today? It seems everywhere we turn people are talking at or past each other, that is when they do talk. More frequently each day we are turning to words, or parts of words, or acronyms or emojis to interact with the world around us. How long will it be before we stop completely and just wait for Alexa or his friends to read our minds and take over?
I used the male gender for Alexa because I asked him to self-identify as a man. He does that so my wife won’t get jealous.
Enjoy Strother Martin’s scene.
