| Message | Though its thesis isn't exactly laid out, the movie still leaves viewers with plenty to think about re: humans and computers, touching on as many emotional issues as technical ones. It addresses community and bullying and raises unanswerable -- but ponderable -- questions about the future. The whole movie is infused with a spirit of curiosity and compassion. |
| Role model | Few role models here except possibly for Herzog himself, who's endlessly curious and compassionate toward his subjects but retains the courage to step back and ask hard questions when needed. Some of the more forward-thinking scientists and engineers could inspire teens on a new path of study. On the other hand, one segment is about an infamous hacker describing his adventures (and brushes with the law), which could have a similar effect in a less-desirable way. |
| Violence | Stories of a family harassed online after their daughter's death. Descriptions of a decapitation. Some interview subjects are upset. |
| Sex | Mention of porn. |
| Language | A single use of "f--k." A use of "crap." |
| Consumerism | Motorola phone shown. |
| Drugs | Mention of someone being drunk. |
