The first video is one of my favorite episodes of The Twilight Zone. I've seen all three films that deal with android/computer consciousness - of course no need to mention 2001: A Space Odyssey and I, Robot. The last video is a TEDx lecture by Rupert Sheldrake. The original curiously has been removed by TEDx so says the up-loader, which reeks of a grand conspiracy. I rather like him, however I don't know how others will take him. He brings up some curious questions about the nature of conscience of living organisms and inorganic material.
