Los Angeles, April 8 : Hollywood actor Johnny Depp, who will be seen in the role of a technology-obsessed scientist in his next movie "Transcendence", questions the dependence of humans on technology in today's age.

"People have been fighting wars over `My god is better than your god' for thousands of years. In the 21st century, I think it's appropriate to look at the way human beings worship technology and what that could mean for our future," Depp said in a statement.

"Whether you're on the side of technology or ecology, a pacifist or an extremist, most people have very definite opinions, and the question of how far we should allow our dependence on computers to go is a question that needs to be asked," he added.

In "Transcendence", the actor portrays the role of Will Caster, an artificial intelligence researcher who strives to create a machine that possesses sentience and collective intelligence.(IANS)
