While the humans were away, the robots broke down and the earth become a giant wasteland. In addition, the automated pilot made the captain lazy to control the space ship himself. Avatar also has a variety of scientific breakthroughs. Scientists combined the genes of a human and the genes of a Na'vi, creating what is called an Avatar. The scientist then mentally linked a human to become one the avatars. For movies like Avatar and Wall-e, it shows us something that could possibly happen in the future.
