There are other hits

Technology For the opening sequence for the film about artificial intelligence, it would be hard to convey a long space of time and the evolution of technology in 2 minutes, instead, I could film it in the near future, so news reports about artificial intelligence in the real world and don’t use time lapses as that shows time
