This scene is a rather obvious attempt at foreshadowing. It starts with a view of the body of an employee, a high-in-the-ranks scientist. It zooms out to encompass the yellow police line and goes further panning up to take in the statue which dominates the interior of the building. The thing on everyone's mind is, "Why would this man kill himself?" and the style of this shot gives the answer clearly.
Here I see an interesting contrast taking place. As it is with most technologies, they are gradually integrated in what we have today. Rarely do they ever intrude to the point of completely replacing everything. The small, sleek automobile in front of the old-style architecture of the home with the large unidentified robot nearby depicts that gradual phasing-in of technology and new designs.
