About The Outer Limits
The Outer Limits is an American television series. Similar in style to the earlier The Twilight Zone, though tending more to science fiction than to fantasy, The Outer Limits is an anthology of discrete story episodes, sometimes with a plot twist.
Every new episode features a new monster, a new plot, new actors.
Plot for "The Tipping Point"
A programmer who claimed someone was out to get him mysteriously vanishes after trying to download some software from the company's mainframe.
His replacement (played by Kerr) finds out there is a secret project, called Prometheus, to create a universal language that will allow any computer to instantaneously talk to any other computer.
If instantaneous communication between millions of computers can be achieved the computers may act as neurons within the brain in which non-thinking computers merge into a thinking intelligence - the tipping point. When this happens someone will be able to rule the world by using computers.
