Or this is the story and they changed it for the movie so crimes were stopped before they were committed?

I reckon I've read that story too, Glenda, but it was at least 30 years ago and I remember even less about it than you do:-(

I have always believed writers think of it first and then scientists work out how to do it.

Did you ever read Asimov's stories about Multivac? If they were not the Internet by another name, what was?
